David Lewandowski’s latest animation ‘Late For Work’ – easily the maddest and most excellent thing you’ll have seen since David Lewandowski’s 2011 animation ‘Going To The Store’ (which, if you’ve not seen, you should watch this minute).

Kurt Cobain: “My mother has always tried to keep a little bit of English culture in our family. We drink tea all the time. Tea, yeah. Although I’ve never really known my ancestry. I didn’t even know until this year that the name Cobain is Irish. I found out, through different phone books, throughout America, couldn’t find any Cobains at all, so I started calling Coburns. And I found this one lady in San Francisco and she had been researching our family history and we came from County Cork, which is a weird coincidence because, when we toured, we played in Cork. And the entire day I walked around in a daze. I’ve never felt more spiritual in my life. I was almost in tears the whole day. It’s the weirdest thing.”

And old-fashioned tale redolent of Disney’s Oscar winning Paperman, Reflections – Bosmat Agayoff and Alon Ziv’s graduation film from Bezalel Academy of art and design – is the story of Barnie: a man who takes childish joy in his own reflection, placing himself at odds with the conventional adult world.
A foul-mouthed, hand-drawn, multi award-winning satirical animation by Jeanette Bonds, who explains that it was…
…adapted from a conversation overheard in a Santa Monica restaurant in 2011. Four lawyers engage in a bantering dinner conversation that quickly devolves into a grotesque and brutal comedy of cruelty and hypocrisy. This film is not for the faint-hearted.
The animator explains all here.
