PSST3

PSST! 3 is a brand-new series of 17 original collaborative short films made over the last year by over 175 participants in cities worldwide, including: New York, Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, Atlanta, Nashville, London, Glasgow, Paris, Vilnius, Amsterdam, Berlin, Dublin, and Copenhagen. The films are each made in three parts, with different teams working consecutively on the beginning, middle and end. Taking the inspiration for its process from the Surrealist technique of Exquisite Corpse and the children's game of Telephone, the PSST! films bring together diverse Artists, Directors, Designers and Animators to combine their work in an experimental format that encourages creativity and rewards the sharing and mixing of ideas.

The result is a glorious, chaotic mix of film-making and animation styles. A mash-up of stories and characters from art-stealing rabbits, Victorian-era lady astronauts, and faceless scientists to violin-playing schoolgirls The results of artists being given a platform for creative freedom and permission to create without strings attached.

"Each team pours their imagination into a temporal slice of an unimagined whole. They do it primarily because its fun. But they do it also to remind themselvesand their peersof what can happen when our normal routines are upended for the sake of creativity and collaboration." - Justin Cone, motionographer.com (from Exquisite Corpse, an essay for PSST! 3)
