[Carillo has just passed along an additional two stills from the film, raising our current total to four. Yow.]

While I can't go into any great detail here, let me say this about the experience of being on a film festival jury: consensus is a myth. Nobody agrees on anything one hundred percent and there's always a certain amount of give and take required to make decisions. That said, let me introduce you to Fuera De Control, an absolutely brilliant piece of stop motion animation from young - she's still in her twenties, I believe - Mexican director Sofia Carillo.

Brilliant, you say? Why, yes I do. And I'll go even farther than that. Fuera De Control is the single best piece of stop motion animation I've seen in years, Carillo easily matching the technical skills of a Nick Park or Henry Selick and fusing them with the design sense of a Dave McKean. Yes, this is high praise, I am aware of this, and I mean absolutely every word of it. Carillo is sensational. I was so taken with her creation, in fact, that I immediately tracked her down after viewing it and asked if she had a trailer so that I could share it with you, the Twitch faithful. She didn't at the time but rather than cause a grown man to cry she has agreed to create one for us. That should be arriving shortly but just to whet the appetite before it arrives she has included a pair of gorgeous stills from the film. Just imagine these things in motion ...
