BLOOD TEA AND RED STRING


Written, directed, and produced by

CHRISTIANE CEGAVSKE


BLOOD TEA AND RED STRING © 2005 is a handmade stop-motion fairy tale for adults. Thirteen years in the making, Christiane Cegavske's dialogue-free feature film tells the tale of the struggle between the aristocratic White Mice and the rustic Creatures Who Dwell Under the Oak over the doll of their heart's desire.


The Mice commission the Oak Dwellers to create a beautiful doll for them. When she is complete, the Creatures fall in love with her and refuse to give her up. Resorting to thievery the Mice abscond with her in the middle of the night.


Meet fantastical creatures and view dazzling scenery as the Creatures Who Dwell Under the Oak journey through this mystical land to reclaim their love. See the mice descend into debauchery as they become drunk on blood tea! See what happens when the Oak Dwellers eat the yellow fruit!

THE SECRET ADVENTURES OF TOM THUMB


Written and directed by

DAVE BORTHWICK


Often described as "Pinocchio Meets Eraser-head," this dark, twisted, and hypnotic version of the fairy tale is set in a world of shadowy tenements, high-tech labs and garbage dumps. Little Tom is kidnapped by sinister scientists for evil experiments in a lab full of mutant creatures. Gorgeously designed, with stop-motion animation filmed against pixilated human performances, and lots of buzzing insects.
