THE BATTALION
Sub
Directed by Jesse Schmal
SUB PHOTO COURTESY TEXAS FILM FESTIVAL
highlight of the festival. (Grade: B+)
Sub is a wacky off-the-wall
animated comedy filmed with a
unique animation style. This
short centers around a miniature
submarine in a plaza full of
people and the perils laced by
the tiny crew.
Delightfully bizarre. Sub has
several laugh-out-loud mo

Dirty Laundry
Directed bv Cristina Ibarra
Laundry is a 15-minute short about the trials and tribulations of being
an adolescent Hispanic girl. The story follows a young girl in the days
leading up to her cousin's 15th birthday celebration.
Her encounter with a washing machine gives the film its title and its
funniest moment. Surprisingly witty and shot in an interesting style,
Laundry is good fun if nothing else. (Grade: C+)
Burning Desire:
The TexasA&MBonfire Tragedy
Directed by Adam Brewer
Desire is sure to be a big draw at this year’s festival. Combining
news footage of the tragedy with interviews of people explaining their
views on issues surrounding Bonfire, Desire is extremely powerful at
times. |lfl|j§| .
The scenes of the aftermath are still so fresh in A&M's history that
they are nearly impossible to watch without feeling sorrow.
Their emotional impact is diminished, however, by some of the inter
views that come across as pretentious. (Grade: C)

The Girls 1 Room
Directed bv Irene Turner
One of the more entertaining feature films to be shown this year,
Room is well-layered and incorporates more of a studio approach to
what is a decidedly independent production.
This movie follows two roommates in a small Southern college.
Grace is rich, blonde, smart, and set to get married in a matter of
months. Casey is a drug-using poor girl with serious personal issues,
and her only relationships are a series of one-night stands.
Filled with nothing but disdain for one another, the two inadvertently
push each other into a journey of self-discovery that will change both of
their lives.
