The Ann Arbor Film Festival

At the Ann Arbor Film festival tour many different films were shown, all in different taste. The first film screened, "Doxology' by Michael Langan left the biggest impression on the viewer. A scene where the actual director, and copies of him, hit a tennis ball up and down which really gave the film a cool feeling from then on. In additional scenes similar visual humor was used, contributing towards its impact on the audience.
"I Met the Walrus" by Josh Raskin is a premier example of a well-executed idea with stunning animation. With audio originating from an interview with John Lennon, and hand-rendered images created by Mr. Raskin himself, a political story is told. In this story John Lennon gives us reasons and means for peace and stability in the world circa 1968-1970ish.
