FILM AND FUN ABOUND AT ANNECY 2011 June 6 -11 2011, Annecy, France
As usually happens I did not agree with some of the prize winning selections. I definitely felt that Pixels directed by French animator Patrick Jean was not the very best short film that I had seen at the festival. Watching New York City transformed into a gigantic video game as retro characters ala Packman and Donkey Kong invade the city was fun and the 1 minute 30 second film was an impressive use of technology but it seemed more like a music video and once you’ve seen it you’ve seen it. I prefer films that I want to watch several times and have to think about. That said, I know that awards are made by a committee who has to come to an agreement.
