Who Knew Hockey Could Be Sexy? A Clip From Cam Christiansen's 5 HOLE: TALES OF HOCKEY EROTICA

Recently named to the Toronto International Film Festival's Canada's Top Ten list, we have been vocal admirers of independent animator Cam Christiansen since we first came across his fantastic short I Have Seen The Future back in 2007.  Christiansen's style is a unique blend of motion capture, rotoscoping and digital paint - something that may sound familiar when you see it written down like this but which is incredibly striking and distinctly Christiansen's own when you see it in action.  And what has he applied his signature style to to earn that Top Ten nod?  That'd be 5 Hole: Tales Of Hockey Erotica.

Be warned, Guy Maddin, you are no longer Canada's sole source of absurd self mythologizing.  No, there's a new kid on that particular block.  An extension of a book and musical project from The Rheostatics' Dave Bidini, 5 Hole casts Canada's love affair with hockey in a decidedly different light than usual.  And if you have to ask what a 5 hole is or who the narrator means by Wayne, then you are very definitely not Canadian.

No trailer for this one but we've got a clip for your education below.
