Dogs in Cars

When British photographer Martin Usborne was a child, he was left alone in a car. Although it wasn’t for very long, the experience clearly stayed in his memory. In his photo series, Dogs in Cars, Usborne explores those childhood feelings of fear and loneliness.

Dix: A Short Film on Obsessive Compulsive Walking

Coming out the 36th Computer Animation Festival (SIGGRAPH 2009), a short film by the name of Dix was named as the Jury Award winner. Dix is a harrowing short film that explores the psychological state of Marc, an obsessive-compulsive who counts to ten as he steps onto paving stones. Marc relies heavily on the paving stones to get about – if he strays off the path, the consequences are dire to say the least.

Marc seeks help from Monsieur X to get over his phobia. See it below or watch it in HD at YouTube. Be warned, the film contains graphic scenes that may disturb sensitive viewers.

Dix was directed by a collective known as Bif.
