Nominated for best short film (Animated)

 

La Maison en Petits Cubes (France)- A sad story of a man remembering his past.

LAVATORY - LOVESTORY (Russia)- A rest room attendants search for love.

OKTAPODI (France)- A octopus's quest for freedom.

PRESTO (USA)- "Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat".

THIS WAY UP (UK)- Morticians trying to do their job..

 

I Liked "THIS WAY UP" for technical reasons but "La Maison en Petits Cubes" was the emotional heavy hitter here. (They realy should make a separate category for computer animation.)

 

Nominated for best short film (live action)

 

AUF DER STRECKE (Germany)- A man is haunted by his inaction on the U-bahn.

NEW BOY (Ireland)- First day at school for a little African boy.

GRISEN- The Pig (Denmark)- A hospitalized mans obsession with a painting.

SPIELZEUGLAND -TOYLAND (Germany)- Nazi resettlement from a child's view.

I thought "AUF DER STRECKE" was fantastic! I wanted to jump up and help. "MANON ON THE ASPHALT" did get me a bit choked up though.
