For Film Lovers
Just a taste from this mouth watering and award winning short created in 2005 by Australian director, Anthony Lucas, using his own developed form of silhouetting. From IMDB: Set in a world of iron dirigibles and steam powered computers, this gothic horror mystery tells the story of Jasper Morello, a disgraced aerial navigator who flees his plague-ridden home on a desperate voyage to redeem himself.

Other notably steampunk films include Castle in the Sky along with many other fantastic animations by Hayao Miyazaki. I think several Terry Gilliam films have a steamy cast about them - Brazil, Baron Munchausen & the latest, Dr. Parnassas. I loved the airship in Stardust, by director/writer, Matthew Vaughn. And I was sorry not to see more of the Philip Pullman trilogy
in film after The Golden Compass. Just last night, I watched A Series of Unfortunate Events
with my kids (now teens) for the nth time and was struck by how much steampunk seems to
have an influence there as well. Comment on your favorites HERE and let’s start a conversation about why this aesthetic is so pervasive in today’s films and what the mainstream might really like about it.
