Cucalorus 14

On Thursday, I got the chance to go check out The Cucalorus Festival. Cucalorus is an annual film festival in Wilmington, NC and they had a lot of very odd and original short films. I got to see 5 different short films, but I wanted to mention 3 of them that I thought were really good and most importantly, different.
1. Ichthyopolis
Its hard for me to explain this one, so i'll have the Cucalorus book do the talking...
"A 10-minute psychedilic technomation from a local filmmaker delves into a mythical cosmology of fish and their human caretakers."
......yeah
2. Don't See Listen
This is a documentary about an improv band call Invisible. They are mainly known for making very unique inventions like a typewriter piano and a pinwheel drum machine. I really liked there sound and style while I was watching the film.
3. Felix
Felix was easily my favorite film out of the 5 shown. It tells the story of a 10 year old German boy who meets a deaf girl online. He tells the girl that he is also deaf and so he learns sign language so he could meet her in public. She eventually finds out that he is not really deaf though. In the end they do fix things up and become good friends. The film was excellent and I encourage anyone who has the opportunity to go watch it!
