Anti/Type

Three new films in production

You know how it is. You wait forever for a bus to come, and then three come along at once. Now, if you replace the word 'bus' with 'film' and the word 'come' with 'exit pre-production and begin the long journey towards a final edit', then you'll have a pretty good picture of what we're trying to say here. Admittedly, that wasn't the smoothest of intros, but it's been while. Keeping up the Anti/Type tradition of attempting to vary our films as much as possible, our latest three shorts cover all ends of the spectrum. We're The People People See From ...

Baba Yaga – Full Film Online

The next step in our continued short film release drive is upon us. Baba Yaga, completed in 2011, is one of our most stylistically distinct pieces, and we hope you enjoy it. More on the way. http://vimeo.com/35147143 Baba Yaga is about many things without ever being explicit. Its motives and themes are purposely meant to overlap and loop back onto each other. Fact and fiction don't matter to it, as history (the mother of the story) doesn't care for it. Only the reader, looking back, does, but as you will see they are corrupted. Interpretation is everything and whether we've achieved any ...

Parasite Poster

Nothing better than a genre poster. And wouldn't you know it, look at the time - it's poster o'clock! It's actually quarter to poster o'clock, but we just can't wait any longer. We proudly, and rather excitedly, present to you the official poster for Parasite, Anti/Type's upcoming horror that will soon be unleashed on the world. 'It's Not Working', indeed. Though we hope for you, the poster really is working. Although for us, this attempted sign-off really isn't working. And it's a little gone poster o'clock now, so we'll wrap up here. Check out the synopsis here, and keep 'em peeled. More ...

The Seventh Poster

This has been a long time coming. Shot back in 2009, The Seventh is one of our earliest efforts. As a final update to round out 2012, we present the film's final poster. Antiquated, foreboding and nearly monochrome, the Anti/Type New Year bash will provide none of your conventional positivity and affirmation. Ha. Although truthfully, it won't. It will have cheese though, so, you know, swings and roundabouts. Happy New Year, and stay tuned for an exciting 2013.

Top 10 Films of 2012

Happy New Year dear reader, we hope you're overcoming the Christmas diabetes and the urge to slaughter your entire family. Either way, this list will make you feel better about the world or make you want to hunt us down in our homes like you did your Aunty Mary. Anyway you're reading it, so we have the moral victory. Top 10 Films of 2012 Martha Marcy May Marlene The year’s best horror. All creeping tension and unspoken threats, filmed with unnervingly beautiful expressionistic cinematography. Argo Not since LA Confidential has Hollywood reminded us that there’s a certain type of film that only it can do, which ...

Little Annie Documentary now online

So after seemingly endless months of back and forthing, shows, festivals, Q & A's, tweeting, blogging, bailing, begging, whoring, touring, driving, schmoozing and threatening, here it is.......that's all really. We're far to tired to type anymore, so for more details on our new favourite lady click here http://vimeo.com/42156652

Dissonance – Full film online

http://vimeo.com/49130918 Dissonance, in an entirely good way, has already become an artifact. Back in 2010 it was Anti/Type's second film together and in many ways it was both a tester for future projects and a completely self-contained, never to be repeated work. It was shot on an old Sony Z1 over an increasing number of static shots, in a dilapidated room above a busy bar on a Saturday night, in what retrospectively seems like an insanely short five hour time period. A fleeting, and somewhat quixotic plan, was to give copies of the treatment to a number of filmmakers and see the different ...

Little Annie final poster

Well, here it is. We are proud to present to you the final poster for Little Annie, the film that officially has Anti/Type's highest poster to running time ratio (that's about one poster to every two minutes, people). Yes, Little Annie is now, and indeed has been, stretching it's little legs in the big, wide world of film festivals, most recently having screened at the Greenhorn Short Film Festival this weekend. Soon enough, we'll be releasing the film online, but until then, enjoy the artwork and keep 'em peeled. Your eyes, that is. We hope you figured that out on your own. Also, ...

Dissonance Poster

Today, ladies and gentlemen, we present to you the poster for our 2010 short film, Dissonance. Shot in a frankly ludicrous five hours, it remains to be our most efficient shoot, and one of our most visceral films (with serious competition from Parasite). We created this artwork to accompany the film to celebrate the fact that we will be uploading it in full to our website shortly. We hope you enjoy it. And bonus points if you spot the song reference. See the Dissonance page for more info.

Kelly Joe Phelps & Corinne West LIVE – River’s Fool

Another one from the Anti/Type archives this week. Back in 2010, we pretended to be as cool as Kelly Joe Phelps and Corinne West on a date of their current tour. We all snacked at a pub together before the gig, and Anti/Type ordered and shared a bowl of nachos. At the time we thought this was all very American and cool - eating 'chos and discussing our craft - but in hindsight we were grown men enthusing about colour correction whilst battling over an avocado dip with greasy corn based snacks. Come to think of it, some nachos sound pretty ...
