这是由黏土木偶拍摄而成的短片,叙述妥瑞症患者哈维的人生观。虽然在旁人的眼中或许他的生命充满著悲哀与不幸,但是他其实是相当幸运且幸福的。哈维的生命关建立 在一连串的「事实」之上,这些「事实」简单朴实却充满著生命的智慧,让他以更澄澈的 眼光接纳这个复杂而充满浑沌的事界。在这些「事实」中,我尤其喜欢最後一个:事实 1064:人生就像香烟,要把他抽到剩下烟屁股为止。

The latest “clayography” runs 20 minutes in black and white stop-motion, similar in style to Elliot’s previous films. The bittersweet biography centers on a deaf Parisian taxidermist, blending humor and tragedy to create a powerful meditation on love and life. Ernie Biscuit is narrated by Elliot’s long-time collaborator John Flaus.
Ernie Biscuit will have its world premiere at the Sydney Film Festival in June, followed by a European premiere at the Annecy International Animation Festival a couple weeks later.

Cousin
6.5 (11 ratings) director: 亚当·艾略特 actor: 威廉·麦克因斯
other title: 表兄 / 自述三部曲之二
Adam tells us the story of an older cousin, who had cerebral palsy. Adam would go over to play, and they'd dress as superheroes, jump off the shed, and run about the the street with an old shopping trolley. Adam explains his cousin's wayward left arm, his strong right one, his aunt's understanding of her son's rages ("bake a cake," she'd tell him), and the boy's love of swimming. On Adam's eighth birthday, the cousins are separated by tragedy; it's left to Adam to wonder about his cousin, and if he still smells of licorice.

The odd biography of Harvie Krumpet, a man who has Tourette's Syndrome, chronic bad luck, menial jobs, nudist tendencies, and a book of "fakts" hung around his neck - but still optimistically lives own way and enjoys the small things life has to offer.
