We received another compilation videotape from last year's UNICA, which I'm delighted to bring to your attention here. There is a large proportion of animation this time, but it is of many different styles, so you shouldn't be too bored!
AS BEFORE, THIS IS OFFERED FOR FREE HIRE - JUST PAY THE POSTAGE BOTH WAYS, PLUS PACKING.
1. | WORKSHOP Dominik Ociepka (Poland) This animation is what the title suggests - a 'tryout' of a variety of styles as a frustrated cameraman tries to start making a movie. |

5. | RADAR VIGIL Marcelo Montes (Argentina) Two groups drive in their separate cars to a lonely spot on a country road. They get out and beat up one of the young men ... The whole movie (which is very bleak) is shot from a single camera on a high viewpoint. There is also 'interference'. BAD LANGUAGE IN SUBTITLES SOME SCENES MAY UPSET SOME PEOPLE |
