Collective Misnomer presents Making Taste 6! This animation focused screening goes deep into our list of works that have escaped the confinement of our curatorial ideas but have stood out overtime.
Alexa Lim Haas "Glove" USA
The true story of a glove that’s been floating in space since 1965.
Job, Joris & Marieke "MUTE" (The Netherlands)
In a world populated by people without a mouth, a gory accident leads to the discovery a mouth can be created by cutting yourself. This unleashes an enthusiastic chain reaction among the population!
Florentina Gonzalez "El After del Mundo" (Argentina + France)
El After del Mundo is a film tempting to give something to think about other possible ways of being human, having fun imagining a humanity of the future, a life without rules, without a world and without a body. At just 28 years old, I feel like I am witnessing this moment even at this "after" of the world. And it is my friends who help me better understand and accept this chaotic journey.
Paulin Rogues "Postiche" (France)
A Space Buddy Comedy Movie in 3 Acts.
Written by me in 2007. Realised by me in 2015.
I wrote Postiche at seventeen, when stories didn’t need meaning, just momentum, rhythm, and strangeness. The piece came out sideways, and I left it that way.
Eight years later, I filmed it almost unchanged. I didn’t want to improve it or explain it. I wanted to preserve the absurdity, the deadpan tone, and that naïve freedom where characters speak in loops, do things for unclear reasons, and seem trapped in rituals they half remember.
The film lives between theatre and dream, school play and surreal chamber piece. Everything is slightly off: the pacing, the logic, the mood. I leaned into discomfort, stillness, and the humour of malfunction.
Sophie koko gate "Hotel Kalura" (UK)
A woman walks into a hotel bar on the romantic island of Sicily, waiting to be lit.
Jon Portman "Ex Creta" (USA)
My goals with this film were simple: to create the greatest, most unnecessary poop joke of all time.
Yoon-Hei Cho "The Law of the Jungle Gym" (USA)
A Magical incident, in a children's lunch time, escalates into a dog-eat-dog survival game among the innocents.
David Lewandowski "time for sushi" (USA)
“time for sushi“ is the latest in a series of short films inspired by an obsessive passion for nonsense. Preceded by the films “going to the store” and “late for meeting,” this adventure follows our friend to Japan.
