This was a very charming short that played at a tour screening of the highlights of the Oberhausen International Short Film Festival, in Bristol.
It shows a working class family, a father and two sons, who are involved in setting up a machine that is a sort of electric kaleidoscope projector, which is presumably going to be used at a party or a club. It's one of very few attempts at British working class realism that I've ever seen succeed. Nothing felt forced or pretentious. The man and the two boys feel like they're very close-knit, there's a real sense of family in the movie. The doggie gets a part too, barking at the lights. There's something quite British about that, affinity with dogs, how they really become members of the family.
The father does some press-ups and lazily won't get up afterwards, lying with glasses askew on the floor. The boys stim themselves against the walls. There's something a little autistic in it, which appealed to me a lot.
