Alfred / 1997 / 2m Rodney Ascher -- Alfred is a (very) short film about the mysteries of other people’s inner lives, the isolation of the individual within a group, good stiff drinks and traffic safety. Tongues and taxis / 2000 / 8m Michael Overbeck -- Rage leads to uncomfortable bodily mutilation in this surreal animation involving an unhappy man, his squirrel-killing cat and an errant, atomic tongue. Modern life / 1997 / 6m Dean Mermell -- A young corporate couple has no “quality time” for each other in their busy daily lives, but at night, their spirits carry on a playful, wonderful relationship around the house.

Deformer / 2000 / 17m Mike Mills -- A documentary about top-ranking skateboarder Ed Templeton, his artwork and life in Huntington Beach, California. Snack and drink / 2000 / 4m Bob Sabiston -- In this short film, filmmakers Bob Sabiston and Tommy Pallotta accompany Ryan, a six-foot-tall, 13-year-old autistic boy, to a local convenience store to purchase a “snack and drink”. 11:11 / 2000 / 3m Max Kisman -- Between 11:10 and 11:12 you realise the symmetry of the moment, and of life itself, in Max Kisman’s provocative riff on the monotony of driving through the desert. Luz / 1999 / 8m Jose Javier Martinez -- Childish wonderment gets a fresh treatment in this gentle portrait of a young girl, who wanders, like Dorothy in The Wizard Of Oz, through the post-apocalyptic world around her. Portrait of Harry / 2000 / 2m Thomas Trail -- This wonderful visual portrait of 88-year-old ukulele player Harry Feinberg manages to convey an incredible amount of emotion in a very short film.

Cirkus / 1996 / 5m Herman Weeb -- A woman is preyed upon by her own frenzy to monopolise. An urge to die infiltrates the carousel of her thoughts but she succeeds in harnessing the power of her emotions to achieve her ends. Ground / 1999 / 8m James Kenney -- At our beginnings we are contained by language, in name, figure against ground. Golden shoes / 1996 / 3m Adam Gravois -- Golden Shoes is a dark picture of a melancholy dream inspired by old stop motion animation. Vision point / 1999 / 1m Stephen X. Arthur -- The landscape in Vision Point seems to dance with an almost dizzying rhythm against an infinitely receding horizon and our relentless forward movement. Max / 1997 / 8m AWOL -- Max is on the run from a quasi-military posse. Outnumbered and caught in a pickle between the posse and the enemy outpost, the odds are not in Max’s favour. Latin alive / 2000 / 3m Stefan Nadelman. Musical animated short film that plays on root language.
