When
your mailbag fills with more than 2000 short animated films, as
ours does each year, there’s going to be some pretty ‘wrong’
moments. This AIAF favourite brings together a collection of the
strangest, most mind-expanding indescribables from that mailbag
and puts them up on the big screen where we can all have a good
look at them. Some are fall-over funny, some are outlandishly odd,
some are just impenetrably imponderable. Together, they are Late
Night Bizarre. Buckle up Spanky! |
