Animated Short: Head over Heels





"A husband and wife. How do you rise above your differences, when you can't agree which way is up? A marriage turned upside down, hangs in the balance..."

Head over Heels - a 2013 Oscar nominated short from the National Film and Television school that explores the relationship between a long married elderly couple who have drifted apart - illustrated by one living on the ceiling and another living on the floor  (great metaphor for the rift we create in our relationships). The couple can't agree which way is up. One day as the husband tries to rekindle the lost romance between them, they must find a way to balance the upside down and put their marriage back together.

PS: Cant seem to get enough of it, I have watched it so many times! Reminds me so much of my favorite Pixar movie - Up :)

Animated Short: The Danish Poet



Ever wondered what would life be like if your parents never met and you weren't born as a result? What coincidences/accidents might have led them to meet each other? Is life a sequential stream of incidents or is there more to it than it appears?

"The Danish Poet" is an Academy Award winning animated short (15 mins) illustrates happenstance in a beautiful, lyrical narration.

Life is all about taking a chance! Who knows when you will bump into your soulmate? I am sure anyone in love can relate to this. Watch it with your loved ones :-)
