A Is for Ant

A is for Ant, the short film debut by photographer Jack Davison and the set designer Shona Heath. Where each letter of the alphabet is represented by an animal – playfully characterized by both actors and live creatures. Typical of Jack Davison and Shona Heath’s respective aesthetics – The ‘A is for Ant’ project is created in the spirit of the Early modern avant-garde movements across design, appearance and atmosphere.  A is for Ant calls to mind the dreamlike fantasy of Surrealism, the ready-made inventiveness of Dada and the theatricality of the Cabaret Voltaire.

The Grasshopper and the Ants
Rated 6.4 on TMDB
Film, 1934
As in the classic fable, the grasshopper plays his fiddle and lives for the moment, while the industrious ants squirrel away massive amounts of food for the winter. With his song, he's able to convince at least one small ant until the queen arrives and scares him back to work. The queen warns the grasshopper of the trouble he'll be in, come winter. Winter comes, and the grasshopper, near starvation, stumbles across the ants, who are having a full-on feast in their snug little tree. They take him in and warm him up. The queen tells him only those who work can eat so he must play for them. Written by Jon Reeves

Tea for Two Hundred

Rated 6.5 on TMDB

Donald is preparing a little picnic when he sees some ants passing by. He decides to tease one, ultimately by piling lots of food onto it. The ant eventually stumbles, but realizes Donald is sitting on a veritable gold mine. He rallies his fellow ants, and while Donald is napping, they cart him to a cliff and drop him into the river. When he returns to the raid in progress, he finds himself powerless to stop it. He dynamites the ant hill, but that only separates the ledge he's standing on, and he finds himself in the river again as the ants finish off a cupcake.
