Summary: Stop-Motion in Motion!
Review: This disc proves that the Resfest DVDs are NOT strictly a showcase for digital films. Two outstanding stop-motion shorts are included on this volume: "More" and "Dog". Mark Osborne's "More" is, without question, one of the truly great animated films -- a parable about passion and routine, simple pleasures and self-satisfaction. It's been included on other anthologies, but if you've missed it - SEE IT HERE! Suzie Templeton's (nice to see the work of women directors get some visibility, I might add) "Dog" is dark, deep and harrowing. A quiet tension builds between son and father, infecting the scene and giving it an urgency not often seen in a short film.That's all I can say. The rest of the films are good, as always, but if the disc were to only include the two stop-motion marvels, it would still be well worth the price. Enjoy!
