"An aura of dreamy melancholy...pervades the entwined stories, which treat the bizarre and the banal as sides of the same coin" (The N.Y. Times).
9 (NINE)
Our Price: $19.98

With the help of producers Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov (Night Watch), director Shane Acker was able to bring his Oscar-nominated student film to full-length fruition. 9 is an epic, post-apocalyptic animation about a ragtag group of nine little steampunk robots who survey the wreckage of what was an Earth-like planet. Numbered 1 through 9, it's the last unit (voiced by Elijah Wood) who thinks they should stop hiding and explore their surroundings and their origins, despite the abominable predators that lurk outside. "...strange, sinister and brilliantly realized...shows remarkable imagination and visual integrity...like Jan Svankmajer and the Brothers Quay...probably too dark and anxious for very young children" (The New York Times). Co-written by Pamela Pettler.

Six contemporary film artists take viewers into surreal worlds of delirium and paranoia in this cutting-edge anthology. The reigning proponent of cut-and-paste, Lewis Klahr nourishes intensely private visions on the compost heap of collective fantasy through old magazines, comic books, and cocktail iconography. Complex, full of charm, and pervaded by themes of loss, Janie Geiser simultaneously creates and deconstructs fantasies through doll-like figurines, cut-outs, and found objects in her cryptic narratives. Jim Trainor's handmade animations explore the inner lives of animals that appear strangely self-aware even as they instinctually copulate, feed, fight, kill and die. Finally, the Bay Area collective of Rodney Ascher, Syd Garon, and Eric Henry conjure diabolical visions with digital savvy, accompanied by the Lewis Klahr/Janie Geiser/Jim Trainor/Rodney Ascher/Syd Garon/Eric Henry---USA---2006---81 mins.
