SATURDAY SHORT: HEADLESSNESS (2004)
Black, white, and red all over, Luke Gustafson’s bizarre animated short, “Headlessness” is an astounding treat for the curious eye. Music by Gustafson’s band, “On To Greatness”.
SATURDAY SHORT: SLEEP OF REASON (2002)
Although Mike McKown and Jim Towns did not make the list with their film, Prometheus Triumphant: A Fugue in the Key of Flesh, their short, The Sleep of Reason, certainly deserves our recognition. This eerie tale of a weird romance between a doctor and a mental patient is just what we’re looking for.
SATURDAY SHORT: ROYAL GAME
Josh Gottsegen delivers a mysterious work of art in the underappreciated short, “Royal Game.” This short features a chess match between two mystical beings. Perhaps the strangest part of this short is its musical arrangement by Marc Lipari.
