Imagine: Toronto, a peaceful night beneath the heavens. You’re taking in the sights at the Bravo!FACT “Shorts Under the Stars” event, a little bit peeved that this isn’t the convention for shorts enthusiasts you thought it was (as evidenced by the fact that no one else is wearing Tobias-from-Arrested-Development-style “never nude” jean cut-offs), but still pleasantly surprised by the wealth of short Canadian films on display. Then you see it: the debut showing of a film featuring the Metric song “Collect Call.” It’s like a music video, but it’s not! It’s a brief animated film by director Christopher Mills (Interpol, Modest Mouse, The Secret Machines) about a young woman living in “a dark dream in an alternate reality.” Check out the Bravo!FACT site for more info. You can also catch Metric on tour with Glenn Beck’s favorite band Muse this fall.
