December 1 — 31, 2005 / Zsolt Keserue, “Conform”
The tenth & final video in the Performing Video series.

In “Conform,” Zsolt Keserue adopts the look and feel of low-budget television advertising, tapping into the fears, frustrations and wants of the average person to pitch a consumer product. Staged like a late-night infomercial, the video seems just as real as watching the news or COPS.

Philip Eddolls, “Wat a wonderful day”

Wat a Wonderful Day is an animated tale of a rabbit lying on a grassy green hill. Eddolls explores the absurdity often found in tales aimed at the very young, but adds a macabre twist. In this case, the rabbit becomes convinced of his own omnipotent powers and sets out to destroy what he sees.

Philip Eddolls has a BFA from Ontario College of Art and Design. His award-winning animations have been featured in numerous festivals.
