Ex Nihilo (by Sophie Rautenbach)

In this film, small mundane moments are transformed into something strange and unknown. Corn flour becomes a non-Newtonian fluid; bubbles in oil demonstrate cellular division, while chunks of ice are transformed into gas giants serenely floating in Space. 'Ex nihilo' is a Latin phrase meaning 'out of nothing', often appearing in conjunction with the concept of 'creation out of nothing'. This film is based upon an hour long lecture given by the physicist Lawrence Krauss and concerns new discoveries in quantum mechanics and cosmology, and why it is possible that a universe can be born from nothing.

The Alphabet (by David Lynch)

The Alphabet (1968) combines animation and live action and goes for four minutes. It has a simple narrative structure relating a symbolically rendered expression of childhood and aging. The idea for "The Alphabet" came from Lynch's wife, Peggy Reavey, a painter whose niece, according to Lynch in Chris Rodley's Lynch on Lynch book, "was having a bad dream one night and was saying the alphabet in her sleep in a tormented way. So that's sort of what started The Alphabet going." Based on the merits of this short film, Lynch was awarded an American Film Institute production grant and became a minor celebrity. It can be watched on Vimeo too.
