FANTASIA FILM FESTIVAL 2006
Robert Morgan's short films

The UK animator and creator Robert Morgan has been working since 1997. His short films are not known outside England due to lack of financial support. Unfortunately, short films suffer in general the same problem: very little distribution because they are economically not very profitable. So Robert Morgan's work remains practically unknown. But if you see his short The Separation (see photo) you'd be surprise of what he can do with silicon and clay dolls. He says his major influence is David Lynch, and you can tell by the background music and lighting in his movies. In The Separation, two twins are separated but feel lonely, they get pasted back together by a strange machine, but something goes wrong during the process, and the end result is grotesque. In The Cat with Hands, a small black cat takes parts of people's bodies and slowly turns into a normal person. He cathes birds with his hands and eats them alive. These are just some examples of Morgan's extraordinary talent.
