Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not, and a sense of humor was provided to console him for what he is. - Oscar Wilde

This incredibly well done science-fiction short shows us a scene of the interrogation of a four-armed alien by a machine intelligence.
Kaleb Lechowski is in his first year at Berlin’s Mediadesign Hochschule — for now. It appears the film has caught the eye of movie execs and word is that the 22 year old will be on his way to Hollywood soon.

I came across this short some years ago on the Cartoon Network show O Canada which was a weekly compilation of animations from the National Film Board of Canada. (a most wonderful institution, imho) Alongside other classics like The Cat Came Back and The Log Driver’s Waltz, The Big Snit is one of those shorts that was an immediate classic.
Richard Condie also animated the fun short The Apprentice.
I bet she was trying to give them a bath.

This award-winning tale directed by Alex Weil is a bitter-sweet adventure of a city rat that chases an empty chip wrapper.
Ever since a monk called Mendel started breeding pea plants we’ve been learning about our genomes. In 1953, Watson, Crick and Franklin described the structure of the molecule that makes up our genomes: the DNA double helix. Then, in 2001, scientists wrote down the entire 3-billion letter code contained in the average human genome. Now they’re trying to interpret that code; to work out how it’s used to make different types of cells and different people. The ENCODE project, as it’s called, is the latest chapter in the story of you.
