Viewing Notes

FF2010 Day Five: Film #2 - Next on my schedule was Jiri Barta’s In the Attic: Who Has a Birthday Today?, a Czech Republic stopmo film featuring characters created from found objects. This is a very good little family adventure film with so much inventiveness. Unfortunately it was so soothing that it was hard to stay awake. Need to watch this one again. The Q&A with Barta moderated by Karrie League was also quite nice as we got to see one of the characters in person. Need to see the English dubbed version.
