The Event

New York based Julia Potts' The Event is a bizarre post apocalyptic event told in reverse, narrating how everything slowly fell apart for the unfortunate mammalian protagonists. The hazy, quirky visual style works well with the poetic narrative, and really reminded me of Tatsuo Sato's equally bizarre Cat Soup, which ranks up there as one of the most bizarre, yet enjoyable movie experiences I've ever had. The short was commissioned for Channel 4's Random Acts initiative.
