Abductees (1995 TV Short)
7/10
quite moving
22 May 2003
This was shown after Alien 3 today and I couldn't look away. It was an impressive mix of video and animation. "Abductees" were shown on videos or through voice overs while it cut into animations of what they were describing. The descriptions and the visuals complement each other perfectly and I was quite affectve by the situations (which is unusual for a short because they usually have little time to get us engaged with the characters). Maybe this worked because you assume the people are telling the truth (and are not just actors for the purpose of entertainment). And whether or not they are genuine, it's still quite powerful.

If you ever see this available on TV or at a festival (which I doubt, its from 1995), it's definitely worth a viewing.
