DVD collection finally available for pre-order!!!!!
Dave's compilation of short films is now available for pre-order on dvd:



Keanoshow, A Collection of Short Films by Dave McKean

In this stunning showcase of seventeen short works from designer, animator, and director Dave McKean (Mirrormask), surreal and evocative images combine with strange and original stories, to create a world of memory and dreams.

Blending live-action, drawings, collage, and computer animation--the films included in this definitive collection share sensibilities with his award-winning comics (Sandman, Cages, Mr. Punch, Signal To Noise) and children's books collaborations (The Wolves in the Walls, Coraline). From the disquieting ghost story "N[eon]" to the playful creation narrative "The Week Before", these films evoke both the earliest experiments in silent cinema, and the most contemporary of digital creations. The film "Show + Tell" traces the evolution of McKean's moving picture works, and his mall, trusted team that would progress to making feature films.

Disc contains:
Short films: The Week Before (23 mins.), N[eon] (28 mins.), Displacements (22 mins.), Whack! (14.5 mins.), Dawn (9 mins.)

Extra Moving Things: Sonnet No. 138, Raindance 7, Reason, Reminded, Kodak - Take Pictures Further (documentary), A Short Film for Adobe (documentary), Signal To Noise (sampler), Show and Tell (documentary)

Music films: Buckethead "The Ballad of Buckethead", Lowcraft "One of Us", Izzy "Una Furtiva Lagrima", Iain Ballammy/Stian Carstenen

Extra Still Things: Biography, Essay 25 Lessons a Second, Photography portfolio, Illustration portfolio

I'm not sure whats going on with DeepDiscount. I emailed them the other day regarding this pre-order because I noticed it vanished from their listings, but they emailed back saying it will be released on the 31st and I should expect it in the mail.

I dunno. Every other online dvd site still has it listed.

If worst comes to worst, I'll just pick it up locally and pay the extra bucks. It certainly is worth it!

Err... am I the only one astonished that it appears there is no European release for the dvd? Anybody know if that's coming or if we'll have to order from .com-land?

I think it comes with a dvd sized booklet that features some of Dave's artwork.

Days before release date it went unavailable at every major online seller that I checked. I emailed the dvd company that is putting the disc out last night asking if this title was canceled last minute.

have yet to hear a response.

Please let us know what you find out! I'm lucky enough to have a copy of THE WEEK BEFORE on VHS, but I've never managed to see [N]EON or the others.
