Other Films for Uplifting Gormandizers

Mara Mattuschka and Kelly Gallagher operate at the intersection between animation and the avant-garde, hybridising styles that highlight their socio-critical and feminist ideals.

Untergang der Titania
From a drain in a bathtub a woman encounters love at first sight and a series of important choices. As the water rises, her thoughts begin to race, and two options present themselves – sink or swim.

From Ally to Accomplice, Kelly Gallagher, US 2015
From Ally to Accomplice
A masterpiece of short-form political filmmaking that uses live action combined with animation to tell the story of radical abolitionist John Brown. Brown’s revolutionary raid on an unjust society mirrors Gallagher’s sustained assault on complacency in life and art.

S.O.S Extraterrestria, Mara Mattuschka, AT 1993
S.O.S Extraterrestria
An unclassifiable, madcap gem of a mixed-media cartoon in which a woman stomps her way through a city like an avenging Godzilla while armies are powerless to stop her. The scene of the female giant mounting the Eiffel Tower in orgasmic ecstasy is sublime punk sensibility. Direction Mara Mattuschka Duration 10' Language no dialogue Country Austria Year 1993
