It was directed by French director Grard Courant and composed more than 31 years from 1978 until 2009. The film consists of 2,000 silent vignettes, each 3min 25secs long, of various people each doing whatever they want. Fellow director Terry Gilliam is one star and he eats a 100-franc note. The Ridiculant Something we found down the back of the internet When spiders attack: A scene from 1945A WHAT do you get when you combine low-budget film-making, Nazis and a giant mechanical spider? Well, you get a pretty excellent short film about Nazis stomping around the fields of World War II in giant mechanical war- spiders. But that was obvious, wasnt it? 1945A, a five-minute film by Los Angeles-based director Ryan Nagata, explores that sci-fi question which has been asked so many times over the years: what if there was an alternative reality where the Nazis turned the tide in World War II by creating enormous battle- bots? It was filmed for less than about 1,300, with actors having to reuse each others costumes and scale models playing the role of tanks (and giant mechanical spiders). It is all thoroughly good fun, in a shooting at giant Nazi spiders kind of way. The last time we wrote about something like this, it was Federico lvarezs low- budget giant robots attack Uruguay short film Panic Attack which got so much attention that he ended up being signed up to make a film with Spider-Man director Sam Raimis production company. 2 Belfast Dublin 2day Max: 10c Sunrise: 8.18am Max: 7c 2dayaroundEurope Athens Barcelona Berlin Brussels London Geneva Madrid Paris Rome 8c 11c -4c 1c 6c 2c 4c 2c 13c Min: 0c 6c7c 6c 6c 7c 7c Sunset: 16.58pm 2night Limerick Cork Galway Cavan Derry Tipperary WaterfordKerry Kilarney Donegal 9c 10c 9c 7c 7c 8c Dry apart from a few showers near northern coasts, clear spells developing elsewhere and winds slackening will allow some ground frost to develop.
