We’re showing an incredible film by Harvey Auerbach Dunn called “I wanna be a statue” and you’re in for a treat! @hravo_ showed his short weaving loops which were a collaboration with @seayawn and @mo.grill.coke Here’s info from Harvey: Harvey is an animator, director and amateur grainist based in a pool of nebulous gloop in the UK Midlands. He creates worlds of winding, dripping landmasses all in an honest effort to convince someone to invest in their real-world construction. He likes to explore narrative filmmaking as one would their local supermarket, semi-regularly and in a hurry. He composes his own DIY, synth based scores. About my film:  I Wanna Be a Statue is Harvey’s graduation film from the Royal College of Art from 2023 and is 3 minutes and seventeen seconds of 2D animation. See you at @therumshack on Monday 7pm x #animation #diy #Harveyauerbachdunn #daydreamnation #glasgow

Very happy to show you a film by Pallavi Agarwala, whose film “Once more with feeling” we screened at our first diy cinema screening and we will never forget the applause it received 👏🥹 This time we will show you “Flight” which is a very important film, especially in current reality. Make sure to visit Pallavi’s insta: @pallavi.agarwala Here’s info from Pallavi: A sentence about your film + info such as duration, year of completion and technique Flight is an animated film about exodus, migration and paperwork. 5 min 19 sec, made in 2017, as International Animator in Residence for the Toronto Animated Image Society. Paper, graphite sticks and eraser. Culling from texts and testimonials of exodus and migration, I was intrigued by the lesser explored obstacle, i.e. the very un-exotic task of immigration and filing paperwork. I wanted to build a film around what it could mean for a person making that journey, and the uncertainty of it. As this phenomenon has and continues to impact people from across the globe, the film has been left wordless, without specific language. The film is an immersive experience, and was projected in a public gallery as part of the animation residency. 🪽🪽🪽🪽🪽🪽 thank you Pallavi!!!!

Thank you Lizzy for letting us screen your work, Here’s info: FRIED! is a folk-horror comedy which explores themes of hope and community. The story draws inspiration from new-age spiritualism, Greenham Common and the proximity of ancient and industrial ruins in the British landscape. Created almost entirely in Blender, FRIED! combines mixed-media techniques, 3D and 2D animation, hand-drawn charcoal, and 3D-scanned props. The film takes an experimental approach to 3D software, merging an expressive making style with a lo-fi, ‘scruffy’ CG aesthetic to evoke a uniquely handmade feeling. Director BIO: Lizzie Watts is a director and artist. She studied Fine Art at Goldsmiths College and Directing Animation at the National Film and Television School. Lizzie’s work embraces a unique and expressive style which combines an experimental approach to 3D software and 2D animation.

We’re incredibly happy to show this amazing film by @em.cooper.studio tonight and we’d like to thank Em massively for letting us screen it at @therumshack ❤️ This entirely handmade film won her a Grammy and many different awards so make sure you check Em Coopers work which is absolutely magic. Here’s info: The Beatles: I’m Only Sleeping 2022, 3min, dir. Em Cooper The Grammy winning official music video for The Beatles: I’m Only Sleeping: hand painted in more than 1300 oil paintings by Em Cooper, the film takes us into John’s dreamlike world. He’s keeping an eye from his window. A sentence about my practice: I’m interested in using moving-image oil-paint to evoke subjective experience — my aim is to convey what it feels like to be experiencing the world: fleeting thoughts, memories sensations, shifting in every passing moment, rather than what the world looks like on the outside. #emcooper #thebeatles
