Strange Adventures

The second Colour Box shorts programme includes a Town Called Panic Christmas special.

Our second programme of family shorts includes Vincent Patar and Stéphane Aubier’s eccentrically funny A Town Called Panic – The Christmas Log; a half hour romp about the exploits of three housemates: Indian, Cowboy, and Horse, made by the Belgian directors of those inimitable Cravendale adverts.

Also included is French filmmaker Nicolas Deveaux’s 5m 80 in which a highly organised herd of giraffes take a trip to the swimming pool and pull off a series of dives that Tom Daley would be proud of. And Pixar animator Erick Oh’s exquisite short Gunther, about an unlikely group of hungry accomplices including a bee, a pig, a dandelion and a turtle, is a total delight. Suitable for ages 7+.
