Stop-motion animation about a little girl and her grandfather, who create a lovely machine out of the detritus washed up on a beach. Dream-like and ethereal, this poignant film reminds us that strange is good, and the weirdest can sometimes be that which we treasure most.

I’m a sucker for anything mecha, and this is no exception. Sensual robots, milk (for some reason), and making out between said robots. I’m sure there is a deeper sub-text here but… robots!

Animated short about a rich man out of his depth and a little old lady who is more than she seems. The palette is perfect for the style of cinematography and characters are quickly established and identifiable. A lovely film.

It’s long, but stick with it. A beautifully disturbing stop motion animation from Clyde-Henry Productions, we track the train travel of a young woman and her luggage. Existential, philosophical and occasionally terrifying. Watch this one with the lights off.
