  • ‘Dock Ellis and the LSD No No’ by James Blagden

    Ah! the experimental seventies! This funny short animated doc gives an account of what its like to play baseball under the influence of mind altering drugs. Towards the end of the animation the simplified frame rate comes into its own as a means to expose the narrators experience of judgement. http://www.shortoftheweek.com/2009/11/24/dock-ellis-the-lsd-no-no/

  • ‘The gift that keeps on giving’ by Jeff Lassahn

    The Gift That Keeps on Giving A short, thought-provoking animation about the effects of cluster bombs. This film is part of a larger project called the Cluster Project, an online gallery of art works and space for dialogue on the ethics of warfare. http://theclusterproject.com/

  • ‘A is for Atom’ by John Sutherland

    Well, what you might expect from a US 1953 public information film about nuclear power and weaponry: simplified science and a rather narrow political view! This came from Public Domain Motion Pictures on Youtube, a ‘free channel devoted to Public Domain, Open Source and Copyleft movies, TV shows and serials’.
