Wholphin No. 14
Wholphin is a beautiful thing born of invention and exploration; a painstakingly curated collection of shorts, documentaries, instructional videos, foreign sitcoms and other cinema hybrids.
Overview
When most people find out that a “wholphin” is the lovechild of a bottlenose dolphin and a false killer whale they’re likely simply to look it up on Google. But not the publishers of indie mag McSweeney’s, who were filled with such warmth and tingliness at this discovery that they decided to put together a DVD magazine of rare and unseen short films.
Wholphin is a beautiful thing born of invention and exploration; a painstakingly curated collection of shorts, documentaries, instructional videos, foreign sitcoms and other cinema hybrids that must have involved watching a hell of a lot of weird stuff. Episode 14 features Will Oldham telling an eerie bedtime story, Amy Grappell’s award-winning exploration of her parents’ polyamorous past, a BAFTA-winning monochromatic stop-motion time travel epic and a whole heap of goodies from sasquatch fanatics the Zellner Bros.
Speakeasy Cinemas will be hosting a Sydney screening of episode 14 in its entirety at FBi social. They will also be serving alcohol, which you might want to have handy if you’re going to be watching the first film to show you what it’s like to hear your own tonsils. So if regular movies have you thinking that cinema is as colourless as an ocean without wholphins, this is something you should probably check out.
