## [animate! Rogue Talents 3 at Riverside Studios London](https://animate.org.uk/editorial/2006/11/animate-rogue-talents-3-at-riverside-studios-london/)

**Thursday 7 December 2006 18:45**

In the third of a unique monthly series, experimental animation project animate! presents features, shorts and documentaries that take life beyond live action into a delirious, unsettling, inspiring and stunningly imaginative realm, where the visual meets the visionary.

**animate! Rogue Talents double bill 3: Future Worlds**
Films that look beyond science fiction clichés to exciting yet human future worlds.

**Shorts Beyond the Horizon** 15 **6.45pm**
Some of the most striking worlds on screen have been realised in animated/manipulated shorts. All the films in this wide-ranging and dynamic selection, including four animate! commissions, travel way beyond the horizon of live-action cinema.
[Perpetual Motion in the Land of Milk and Honey](https://animate.org.uk/films/perpetualmotion/) AL + AL, UK 2004, 7 min. Re-fabricates the lifelong endeavours of grandfather James Brown, a retired engineer and inventor living in the north of England, to break the law of physics and create a perpetual motion device.
[Street Of Crocodiles](http://www.kinoeye.org/04/05/fiumara05.php) Quay Brothers, UK 1986, 21 min. A homage to Bruno Schulz, set in a mythical land with a population of either half-dead or half-alive people oblivious to anyone else’s movements.
[The Nuclear Train](https://animate.org.uk/films/nucleartrain/) Daniel Saul, UK 2002, 9 min. James is deeply disturbed by the heavy vibrations made by the train carrying nuclear waste past his home.

[A Quiet Week In The House](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_%C5%A0vankmajer) Jan Svankmajer, Czechoslovakia 1969, 20 min. A man on the run takes shelter in a dilapidated house. Every day, he drills a hole through a wall and looks into one of the rooms, each time seeing a different surreal vision…
[Half Life](https://animate.org.uk/films/halflife/) Matt Hulse, UK 2004, 6 min. Isolated office workers perform gruelling and surrealistic routines in this intense, neurotic study of the desk-bound being.
[Interstellar Stella](https://animate.org.uk/films/interstellarstella/) AL + AL, UK 2006, 12 min. A sumptuous but enigmatic and twisted drama following a photographer as he travels through the lens to do battle in a world of perfect illusions.

With Jennifer Jason Leigh, Jude Law, Ian Holm.

A games designer creates a virtual-reality experience that taps directly into the players’ consciousness and seriously challenges the boundaries between waking, dreaming and delirium. One of [Cronenberg](http://www.splicedonline.com/features/cronenberg.html)’s most impressive recent explorations of the interface between humanity and the machine, and between the rational and the nightmarishly imagined.
