These are most of the films playing in the FRANCOPHONE SHORTS ONE collection at Animation First. The collection also include BREAD WILL WALK and HYPERSENSITIVE. I had originally reviewed those films when the premiered last year. I reposted those reviews earlier.
SIGNAL
A musical tale of a scientist looking for life in the universe and finding she isn't connected to the world. An odd mix of reality and musical numbers that works best in pieces rather than as a whole.
Balconada
On a hot day we watch life in and a round the terraces of several buildings.
This is a sweet little distraction about people being people.
La mort du poisson (Death of a Fish) (see picture above)
Music and dance combine in the story of a young girl and her mother who has become sad at the death of a fish.
This is a visually impressive film that contains some glorious moments. I'm not sure it all hangs together but I plan on revisiting this again to see some of the images.
Pantagruel
Wild and crazy film inspired by the first page of a French classic.
Honestly I had to look up what this was all about because I have no idea about Pantagruel. That said this two minute film is a visual trip.
TO THE WOODS
A boy and a girl go into the woods at night.
A lovely film about a sister and her brother
