Man Spaghetti by Felix Colgrave

Felix Colgrave, the prolific Tasmanian animator has just released his latest film – Man Spaghetti. Colgrave’s work is always memorable, usually because its unique blend of comedy and tendency towards grotesque surrealism. Man Spaghetti is no exception to this.

On his blog Colgrave explains-

When I made this film, I was exploring the idea of how living things are made of matter, and when we die and rot and we’re returned to the earth and yadda yadda, and then that matter then goes on to build other living things. Basically I cut out the middle man, and made the matter reorganise itself into new things the moment the consciousness died. Then i put them in onesies and gave the whole thing a silly name.
