A cacophony of noise and frenzy, splashed with red and beige reminiscent of fast-food interiors, Things Were a Little Backwards puts a backwards spin on a day that just won't get off its nasty groove. A doomed cartoon Humpty Dumpty can't keep up the pace and finds no release from a day where thieves, cows and fire hydrants behave in the most strange and unpredictable ways. A film without words.
The Pacific & Yukon Centre of the National Film Board, together with British Columbia Film and CBC Television's ZeD TV, presents Shortz, a showcase of seven one-minute films by emerging and seasoned animators. The task was to produce engaging, innovative one-minute shorts inspired by the theme "on that day..." The result is seven distinct approaches to animation, championing the rich talents of BC and Yukon animators.
