today i went to the film festival and saw a shorts program called beyond. i wanted to see this because it featured a brothers quay film i'd not seen before. the film was on betacam and not the greatest quality unfortunately. on this same bill was destino, the film that dali and disney collaborated on, but wasn't finished until long after both had passed on. it's an interesting idea, but i found some of it just too cartoonish and it didn't quite match some of the more surreal imagery. there were scenes that were really nice, but often they'd fly by a bit too fast. the highlight of this series of shorts for me was something called the final solution(intolerance III) which was pretty wonderful. one of my favourite scenes was when as punishment people were tortured with thinly disguised disney cartoons.
