Calgary International Film Festival, days 5 and 6
Around The World In Animation: by a whole bunch of directors = cell, stop-motion, and digital animated shorts. My favourites were “The Tide Keeper” a puppet/stop-motion/live-action experimental or possibly horror film from New Zealand involving a sleeping man, his boating equipment, and all his model ships, and “Yearbook”, from the US, about a man in charge of compiling all of human history into a finite databank by the most literal of deadlines.

Big News From Grand Rock: by Daniel Perlmutter = a quirky comedy of desperation and ambition, of politics and ethical journalism, a boy-who-cried-wolf tale, a slice of small town Ontario, fun with the Pinsent family. Cute.
