Gotta love E Street Cinema, with their showings of all the Live Action and Animated Shorts:

03. On the Line (Auf der Strecke) - similar to The Kite Runner and Atonement in that the main character was a coward

09.Oktapodi - very very very simplistic

Nominee Best Animated Short 2009

10. La Maison En Petits Cubes - took a while to get good, but was good

12. Presto - good

Nominee Best Animated Short 2009


Also, for the animated shorts segment, they showed some "Highly Commended" shorts, including a 24 minute short from the U.K. which was absolute horror and one of the worst pieces of shit I'd ever seen in a theater in quite a long time, which was Varmints. John and Karen was awesome, Gopher Broke was a piece of shit, that appeared to be a failed job application for Dreamworks, Skhizein was interesting, and Hot Dog was also very good, but at first appeared to be a glorified storyboard sequence.
