'Le Gouffre' (The Gulf) by Carl Beauchemin, Thomas Chrétien, and David Forest at Lightning Boy Studio


Le Gouffre is the first animated short film produced and directed by Lightning Boy Studio, a young creative team based in Montreal. The film tells the story of two spirited travelers who come across an incredibly wide chasm on their journey and decide to build a bridge to cross it. Released in February 2015, the project had first gained a lot of attention following the huge success of its Kickstarter campaign, which allowed the creators to finance the movie's post-production. Many were impressed by the passion and determination of the small team of three animators, who spent more than two full years creating the 10-minute film.
As of now, Le Gouffre has been selected in more than 40 festivals around the world and won six awards, three of them for "Best Animated Short".

"Forgot" by Stephen McNally

"Forgot is a short film about memory, emigration, longing, Jesus kitsch, cocktail sausages and children's television. Forgot explores the shape of memory, telling the story of a life through its effacing. A non-linear narrative that flashes between childhood and maturity, as it all slips away. From what we long to remember, to what we'd sooner forget."

Jean Claude Van Damme in "Licks of Justice"
