Alienation

This film made clever use of the Alien genre, showing that you don't need flashy special effects and CGI spaceships to make an effective, hilarious short film in this genre. Overall, a really enjoyable film.

Short and sweet - the bulk of the film is a rather one-sided dialogue between an interplanetary immigration official and an illegal alien. A great, manic performance from the bureaucrat complemented very nicely by the straight-faced Jovian of few words. Beyond that there's not too much else going on here which is a bit of a shame as it's a good concept that had the potential to be fleshed out a little more. That said, the original music was very nice and there are some great special effects (both CGI and practical) so the film still satisfies.
