WELCOME
“The breadth and reach of
the festival has broadened
considerably”
“The festival pulses with live
music events, exhibitions,
country and filmmaker focuses”
Welcome to the 19 th Encounters Short
Film and Animation Festival. Over
the last two decades the festival has
developed into the leading platform
for new and emerging talent in the UK.
A festival is many things: a public
celebration of the art form, a meeting
place of aspiring professionals
and interested public, a sharing
of skills, a forum for discussion
of ideas and practice, a coming
together of audiences, a journey of
discovery, a source of inspiration.
For six days Encounters Short Film
and Animation Festival will provide
all these possibilities and more.
This edition marks the end of an
era, with the Festival’s wonderful
director, Liz Harkman, stepping down
and heading off to the Antipodes.
Liz has been director for six years,
during which time both the breadth
and reach of the Festival has
broadened considerably. The shift
to September last year enabled
greater collaboration with outdoor
venues in the city, bringing with it
much greater engagement with
the local population. Liz has done
an outstanding job and on behalf
of the entire board I would like to
formally say “thank you” to her for her
tireless work over the last six years.
Thanks must also go to the small
but dedicated staff of the Festival,
including of course our two
programmers Gaia Meucci and
Kieran Argo who have selected the
best from a record number of 2300
entries this year. Thanks also to our
funders, the British Film Institute,
Bristol City Council and the MEDIA
Programme of the European Union,
and of course our sponsors, too many
to name here, but without whom the
Festival simply wouldn’t happen. Yet
again, Encounters 2013 has a richly
packed programme, with something
for everyone. I hope you enjoy it.
David Sproxton, Chair of
Encounters Board, Executive
Chairman Aardman Animations
At its heart though Encounters is
about discovering and showcasing
creative ideas and platforming
emerging and established
filmmaking talent from the local to
the national and international. The
programming team have curated a
brilliant range of work in the various
strands, which showcase new
talent and welcome back festival
friends and recent graduates.
From this core the Festival pulses
with live music events, exhibitions,
country and filmmaker focuses and
myriad fringe events across the city.
Thanks to all who have contributed to
this year’s programme. In particular
Gaia and Kieran who have overseen
the Brief and Animated strands
respectively. Special thanks and
respect to Liz Harkman who over
the past six years has managed and
overseen the growth of the festival to
the unique celebration you see before
you. Immerse yourself and enjoy.
Mark Cosgrove, Artistic Director
“One thing that stands out
most is such warmth and
enthusiasm for the festival
from all corners of the world”
Writing this introduction for the last
time was an opportunity to reflect
on what makes the festival what
it is and what that means to me.
There are so many things that I get
excited about year after year, but
one thing that stands out most is
such warmth and enthusiasm for the
festival from all corners of the world.
Every year we see a huge array of
films made by creative individuals,
from first timers to established artists.
Not all of them make the final selection
(which is often the hardest part) but
it’s the enthusiasm, excitement and
creativity expressed by those same
people that helps me through the
year. I’ve been fortunate to meet
the most inspiring and talented
people, not just at Encounters, but
also throughout the year at other
short film festivals and events.
Everywhere I’ve been I’m met with
nothing but respect and enthusiasm
for what we are trying to achieve.
It’s not just the films on screen and the
filmmakers who make the festival what
it is, but also the staff, volunteers and
the board who all contribute in ways
that only I can appreciate – and I really
do! The energy required is immense
and it comes from many in a true
team effort. I’d like to thank all those
who have supported the festival and
me over the last six years including;
the funders, sponsors, supporters and
partners. A special thanks also goes
out to all the filmmakers whose work
we have screened, as they provide
the soul. But my utmost gratitude
goes out to the team (from this year
but also back to 2008) who work
tirelessly to ensure the festival runs
smoothly, as it’s these people who
really give the festival its heart.
Liz Harkman, Managing Director

The MEDIA Programme of the European Union aims to promote European audiovisual heritage, to
encourage the transnational circulation of films and to foster audiovisual industry competitiveness. The
MEDIA Programme acknowledges the cultural, educational, social and economic role of festivals by cofinancing every year almost 100 of them across Europe.
These festivals stand out with their rich and diverse European programming, networking and meeting
opportunities for professionals and the public alike, their activities in support of young professionals,
their educational initiatives and the importance they give to strengthening inter-cultural dialogue. In 2012,
the festivals supported by the MEDIA Programme have programmed more than 20.000 screenings of
European works to nearly 3 million cinema-lovers.
MEDIA is pleased to support the 19th edition of the Encounters Short Film and Animation Festival and we
extend our best wishes to all of the festival goers for an enjoyable and stimulating event.

David Prosser was inspired at a young age by both the intricacies of his Grandmother’s
cake decorating skills – and hours spent staring from windows on lengthy train journeys
to Cornwall, where he developed an interest landscape on both a grand and intimate
human scale. Drawing & sketchbooks have subsequently been fundamental to David’s
working and his prolific narratives manifest themselves first on these pages before being
developed into a variety of media. After initially studying Illustration at Norwich School
of Art & Design, Animation became the obvious working choice during his final year as a
way of expanding the limitations of the page. An MA in animation at The Royal College of
Art thereafter saw him create his BAFTA nominated short Matter Fisher, and it was during
this period of study that David undertook an internship with Studio AKA. Promptly hired
by AKA upon graduation, David is currently working as both a Designer & Director with
the studio and has completed an array of commercial and longer format projects.

work of triple Oscar winner
Richard Williams.
March 5th-9th

Richard Williams has had an immeasurable influence
on the art of animation. His studio had many famous
successes; for Tony Richardson’s The Charge Of
The Light Brigade in 1968 he brilliantly realised
sequences in the style of Victorian political cartoons.
In 1975, Williams imbued the Pink Panther
with elegance for the classic opening of Blake
Edwards’ Return of the Pink Panther.
In 1988, Williams was hired to oversee design and
direct the animation for Who Framed Roger Rabbit,
which is often credited with reviving the fortunes
of the animated feature film. Williams won two
Academy Awards for his contribution to this film.
Deadline for Competition 1.12.2013

Join us for an on-stage session with independent Swiss
animation filmmaker Isabelle Favez. Isabelle studied in
Basle and in Zurich, where she now lives and works.
Her award winning short films have been screened at
festivals across the globe – you may have caught Au

During this session you will get the chance to

Peripheries, Formal Conscience & Dialogical Abrasion by Yves Netzhammer
Formal Conscience (2013) ends the Trilogy started 2011 with
Dialogical Abrasion and followed in 2012 by Peripheries
of Bodies, within which Swiss artist Yves Netzhammer
tries to analyse possible interaction between man and his
surroundings. Puppet-like figures represent us as individual
human being moving through rooms, or labos, where
different levels of reality are all mixed up and reorganised.
In this installation, poetic moments of contemplation
are combined with nightmares scenarios of loneliness
and being alone. Trying to communicate and to meet/
connect with others fails due to their impossibility. netzhammer.com

So You Think That’s Funny
1 HR 30 MINS
British humour is world-renowned and at the forefront
of some of our most successful and distinctive
cultural exports, especially when it comes to film
and TV. But what does our unique funny bone look
like exactly and where does it come from?
A comedy writer, director and actor will show
their favourite comic short films / sketches and
debate why they make them laugh. Be prepared
for some distinctly unscientific theories, bags
of anecdotes and the odd disagreement!
28
This event will take a light-hearted look at the subjective
nature of humour, providing its own laughs along the
way. Our panellists will also try to deconstruct why
comedy is one of the hardest genres to get right, and why
so few short filmmakers attempt it. Which ingredients
are the most important? Does good writing always
come off well on screen, or is it all in the delivery?
Speakers include Jesse Armstrong, one of Britain’s
finest comedy writers best known for Peep Show,
The Thick of It, Fresh Meat and Four Lions.

Aaron (George Mackay) is the lone survivor of
a fishing trip that claimed the lives of five men
including his older brother, Michael (Jordan Young).
Unable to remember the details of their trip, and
feeling the weight of the community’s collective
grief, Aaron’s sense of helplessness escalates
into the belief that Michael and the other men
somehow survived. Beautifully shot and sensitively
performed, this folkloric film imaginatively explores
love and loss. For Those in Peril is BAFTA-winning
director Paul Wright’s feature-length debut.
New main body copy: When Kelly (Antonia CampbellHughes) meets Victor (Julian Morris) on the dance floor
of a Liverpool nightclub, the attraction is instant. After
wandering through the night they find themselves
at her flat, making love with a passion and urgency
that neither had experienced before. Adapted from
the acclaimed novel by Niall Griffiths, Kelly + Victor
is a haunting, candid depiction of a young couple
embarking on an obsessive love affair with terrible
consequences. Its two young leads deliver superb,
complex but tender performances that really anchor
this first fiction feature from rising star Kieran Evans.
Followed by Q&A with director Paul Wright.

The Gruffalo started life in 1999 as a children’s book
written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel
Sheffler. The book has sold in excess of ten million
copies, won numerous awards and developed into
a hugely successful worldwide phenomenon.
The future of the creative industries in the digital age
is being shaped by entrepreneurs who can build new
businesses / new business models across different media
platforms. This is true whether they are working on their
own; launching start-ups; or building cross-media activity
within traditional media companies.
A major part of the more recent success is due to
two half hour animation specials produced by Magic
Light Pictures in London and animated at Studio Soi
in Germany. The multi-award winning productions
have authentically and beautifully brought the story
and characters to life on screen, and a whole range of
licensed products have been developed alongside.

BFI Shorts is a high-level production scheme designed
for emerging filmmakers in the UK to demonstrate
their potential to make features. Last year, 17 ambitious
projects spanning a range of genres were chosen
from nearly 1000 proposals. With the films now
starting to appear on the international festival circuit,
join filmmakers and executives from the scheme
to hear about its ambitions and the lessons learnt.
Featuring exclusive clips and behind-the-scenes
footage, this event will provide valuable insight into the
challenge of upping your game, and the creative and
production processes involved in making films with big
impact that have the ability to entertain global audiences.
This session looks at the aesthetic
changes over time from celluloid print
to using digital processes including
cameras and tapeless workflows.
What are some of the main pre and postproduction benefits? Can you achieve
more, or less, ‘in-camera’ now? and, can
you, in fact, now get what you want? These
questions and more will be tackled by the
esteemed and picturesque panellists.

Chicken Run – the first of five animated features.
Peter will talk about the principles and the practice

God, You’re So Square

Welcome to Switzerland: During the short ride
in the Zurich airport shuttle train from terminal
E to exit, a short film is screened on the tunnel
wall. The sound of cow bells, happy “moos”, lush
meadows and Heidi blowing us a kiss goodbye.
Upon exiting the train, an advertising poster
from a well-known Swiss bank wishes you a nice
stay in this safe, clean and friendly country.
“God, you’re so square”, is what Iris says
to Travis in Taxi Driver. He is the symbol
of the dilemma many Swiss men seem
to struggle with (at least on screen).
This programme dismantles the image of
the square, predictable and efficient Swiss
man and shows his struggle to find a place in
society. Some seek refuge in an alternative
digital world, some turn back to better times or
somehow lose touch with reality altogether.

It is February and cold. Two youths
from the countryside are in the
middle of nowhere and looking for
a ghost. The answers they hoped
for on questions about the meaning
of life seem to be floating in the
air under gigantic power masts.
A personal journey to childhood idols,
TV stars and the question as to why
one identifies with clichéd role models,
and lets oneself be defined by them.
An essay, a meditation, a firework of
images, which takes the filmmaker
from the wrestling ring to a talking

Louis, a seventy-year-old man
suffering from Alzheimer’s, allows us
to immerse ourselves in his everyday
life - between recollection and reality.
An elderly man is riding in a rusty,
weather-beaten cable car suspended
at an alarming altitude. The man
treats himself to a sizeable portion
of snuff. With the sneeze thereafter,
the rickety cable car begins to sway
precariously. One sneeze attack after
the other ensues, however, creating a
momentum which brings the gondola
to the verge of bursting. Ruthlessly
exposed to the rain and snow, the
cable car ascends to increasingly
abysmal heights. The man, however,
remains undaunted by his fate.
Armed with a roll of adhesive tape,
he takes control of the situation
and fabricates his own cabin.

Brief Encounters Grand Prix
Encounters takes pride in the exemplary selection of the
latest and greatest short films from around the world
on show this year. The winner of the Grand Prix is the
cream of this crop, the best that the short film world has
to offer and certainly a name to look out for. Films in the
International (INT), British (BRIT), South West Showcase,
Late Lounge and Music Video Showcase programmes are
eligible for the cash prize of £2,000. The winning film is
eligible for an Academy Live Action Award Nomination.
“The talent informing this year’s
British and international competitive
programmes is a rich banquet”
Another year, another Encounters!
Journeys come in many shapes and forms. Climbing
the mountain of film submissions has to be one of my
favourites, albeit a real challenging one, especially with
the extraordinary increase in entries we’ve received this
year: short films are plentiful and in remarkable shape. I’ll
never get tired of expressing the most heartfelt thanks to
all the filmmakers who entrusted us with their work, thus
contributing to the scope and variety of our programmes.
Your creations are the life and soul of the festival.
This year my journey was made even more exciting by the
company of a truly dedicated team of fellow travellers, our
pre-selectors, who have devoted their stamina, expertise
and unflinching passion for film to help me sift through
the staggering number of submissions. For their hard
work and the stimulating debates generated during the
pre-selection process I am indeed deeply grateful.
The talent informing this year’s British and international
competitive programmes is a rich banquet, including
welcome returns from established filmmakers and festival
alumni as well a number of exciting directorial debuts
and inspiring discoveries. As ever, the themes which
have sparked the curation of each final programme
are as thought-provoking as delightfully unexpected.
An unprecedented absorption in the animal realm, a
preoccupation with the idea of home and a piercing insight
into the complexities affecting a bruised and battered
modern day Europe are just some of the fascinating
threads explored by filmmakers in this year’s selection.
With a brand new music video programme curated by the
Soho Shorts team, an increasing number of experimental
short films in competition, the return of our talent-tracking
Shorts2Feature strand and a particularly eclectic country
focus on Switzerland encompassing the most cutting-edge
talent at work across different media, Brief Encounters
continues to expand its programming horizons.
As we look forward to the Festival’s 20th birthday in
2014, this September I am delighted to renew my invite
to all of you to partake in our celebration of the creativity,
boldness and talent of the filmmakers of tomorrow.

He is the founder member and singer
of The Young Gods, an electronic

made The Young Gods a reference
in the musical world. You can hear
their music in Hollywood productions,

Traveling among people and

considered as ugly and unattractive.
This dream-like journey is not a
dream. Who are the people in this
big aquarium? And what is our
position towards them?
The memories of a poet, who used
to live in the Genoa alleys bring us
to his first period in the city, when
he took a room in the Sottoripa.
We will unearth the secrets of the
town thanks to the discovery of rare
movies collected on the Territory.
Provost shows that the dreamworld called ‘cinema’ is simply
a constructed parallel reality
comprising clichés, technical rules
and dramaturgical conventions.
A housing project that seems more
like an amphitheatre bears witness
to a sacrifice. In 2002, Georges

ANIMATED COMPETITION
INTRODUCTION
AWARDS
JURY
Animated Encounters Grand Prix
The winner of the Animated Grand Prix is the cream of
the crop and considered to be the best film in competition
by the Animated Encounters Jury. Films in the Animated
Encounters (ANI), South West Showcase, Late Lounge
and Music Video Showcase programmes are eligible
for the cash prize of £2,000. The winning film is eligible
for an Academy Award Nomination for ‘Best Animated
Short Film’. Selected by the Animated Encounters Jury.
“The spectrum and variety of work
in competition this year is incredible;
from avant-garde and surreal to
classic and ‘toony’; from deep and
dark to musical, poetic and funny.”
A very warm welcome to Animated Encounters 2013.
Things are certainly looking rosy in the animation
garden this year with a bumper crop of films.
On behalf of the festival I’d like to thank the
animation pre-selectors who both worked diligently
and with great consideration and care.
I know it gets said every year but the heartache doesn’t
get any easier when faced with limited screen time and so
many films of outstanding quality. It is never easy to have
to make these decisions, especially with animation where
so much painstaking work has been put into the creation.
A number of noteworthy trends have arisen from the
animated films submitted this year. Contrary to some
vocal (and let’s face it, wrong!) opinion, stop-frame
animation is in good health. I have been blown away by
the number of high quality stop-motion puppet films.
To be handed such a volume of short films each with
individual strengths yet all with a common method it
would be rude not to make a feature of them. Two central
programmes of puppet animation have been compiled for
your enjoyment. This has not been to the disadvantage of
others, I hasten to add; we have been able to squeeze in
an extra competition programme to accommodate this.
Attention is always paid to striking a balance between
new student work and established professionals.
Many of the student films from home and overseas
would be indistinguishable from the professionals if it
were not for the school logos at the end. This easily
demonstrates the quality of academic output and
should be celebrated as a remarkable achievement.
The spectrum and variety of work in competition
this year is incredible; from avant-garde and surreal
to classic and ‘toony’; from deep and dark to musical,
poetic and funny. There is something for everyone
in the programmes – we invite you to feast your
eyes and ears on this year’s spectacular harvest.

It is said that if a man is fading
away, he sees his life running
quickly in front of his eyes. What
does a hundred-year old film strip
see before it gives way to digital
vehicles? Does it see brokend
frames, scratched film stock or
something else?
This animation is to commemorate
my childhood memory, the
excitement and satisfaction when I
rode on the merry-go-round for the
first time.
Anomalies is a film about the human
compulsion to meddle, probe and
fiddle with things that are better
left alone.
As though in a dynamic pinball
game, the trajectory of the ball after
launching is undetermined. The
player’s actions direct the ball, make
sense of its movements, leave their
trace, but not in the long run.

It is a tale of a girl who accidentally
swallows a hypercube and
starts to experience a series of
unusual events.
Anthropoid creatures with plugs in
place of heads are up to mischief.
Instead of abandoning oneself to
the dictates of the raised finger, they
soon submit to themselves. But the
fingers also finger around. Is it love?
A boy, having lost his glasses,
can only see one thing in focus
at a time. His sight gets attracted
by the sounds that surround him.
He will have to explore a blurry
world of unknown places and
strange characters.
A journey through time, space
and the fight for existence. A dark
premise contrasted with the divine
imaginary creates a hypnotic ride of
tone and emotion.
Tap to Retry, at first glance a surreal
collection of disparate abstract
sketches, is actually an attempt to
tackle some aspects of modern life.

family, where you live or work, they
can be old or new. Ideally they
will tell a story. You also need to
write a first draft of a paragraph or

app automatically triggers stories
about Bristol’s forgotten cinemas,
including the first pictures
screened at The Tivoli in 1896;
Cary Grant’s childhood cinema,
The Clare Street Picture House and
the decidedly seedy “continental”
cinema, The Tatler, screening what
we now call “specialized” film,
making it the Watershed of its day.
Nth Screen films are made up

multiscreen, but now in the
hands of an audience who can
play with the screens, moving
them around to make their own

a virtual world, where pixels on a screen are replaced
by thousands of points of light floating in space.
Created by award-winning digital artists Squidsoup,
who are resident artists in Watershed’s Pervasive
Media Studio, Submergence has never been seen
before in the UK. Submergence is a large, immersive,

points of suspended light to create feelings of
presence and movement within physical space.

Oskar Fischinger and Norman McLaren. Since 1947,
Belson has explored consciousness, transcendence,
and the nature of light itself in a visionary body of work
that has been called ‘cosmic cinema’: brimming with
vibrant color, mandalas, liquid forms and mesmerising
rhythms. This program features new 16mm preserved
prints and rarely seen films including Caravan,
Seance, Chakra, Momentum, Light, Cycles and more. Introduced by Cindy Keefer, curator/archivist.
