The National Film Board of Canada, in association with the Cannes Short Film Corner and partner YouTube, welcomes you to this NFB competition, now in its fifth year.
Its your turn to choose. Internet votes will decide the best film, and the winner will be announced at Cannes on May 21. The prize: an HD MINI-DV camera and a mobile studio including laptop and editing suite.

Director: Luke Randall
Running Time: 3'50
Country: Australia
Category: Comedy

A tiny robot is given the gift of life with only one limitation, the length of his power cable. When a curious bird appears at the workshop window, the robot feels a lust to live outside of his reach that may be his demise.

Originally from the island of Tasmania, Luke Randall is a director/animator currently based in Melbourne, Australia. Luke has been fortunate enough to work on CG TV series, video game cinematic and animated feature films over the past couple of years and has received several awards for his work.

    What is the moral of this story?

    I think that when you finally reach something it's too late. Or what?

    I remember watching and crying over this animation with music "Det kanske kommer en Förändring" by Kent a few years ago... thanks for the wonderful animation. It really touches.

    Are you seriously this perverted? If so then that is really sad man... respect this for what it is. Just because you may not understand it doesn't mean you have to make a perverted guess/joke out of it.

    I love these types of short films. They're displayed in a somewhat simple manner, yet have such strong meanings behind them.
