Agent Orange Ready to Freak You Out


posted by Keith

Agent Orange Ready is a short film by German animator Christian Schlaeffer that combines some good ol’ fashioned body horror with a visual style that’s reminiscent of the work of Satoshi Kon. In it, Vietnam vet finds his PTSD is manifesting itself in some bizarre ways. Pretty harrowing stuff, especially considering that the psycho-botanical mutations of the short are based on some very real deformities caused by the titular substance during the war. Created in four months, it screened at this year’s EMERGEANDSEE Festival in Berlin.
