Channel 4’s Random Acts has certainly brought us the weird and wonderful from British and Global film-making. Tackling strange or sometimes hard-hitting subjects with an air of weirdness, the series of short films from talent filmmakers has been a source of emotion and entertainment.

And we’re going to go below the belt with Anna Ginsburg’s superbly eye-opening and colourful look at Private Parts. The film is based on interviews with several different people on sex and genitalia. Though just over three minutes in length, the movie looks at issues surrounding masturbation, the look of vaginas, and pubic hair.

Ginsburg and her team of hearty animators tackle the answers in a brush of excitement and creativity. The film consists of different styles and shapes of genitalia, each bit talking about how they feel about sex and the area downstairs. The main focus is lady areas but men do get to poke their tips and opinions in. The talking heads and lips flap about their issues in a nervous or brash way in order to tackle some taboos about loving yourself wholly and completely. It’s masterfully done and – unsurprisingly – educational as you swallow all these thoughts about Ginsburg is a treasure trove of bouncing, exuberant ideas.

A particular highlight here is a clitoris that turns to express utmost joy at being fondled with, nestled in a vibrant labia. Private Parts is full of drawings and hearty animations such as this and it brings to gleeful life the glorious parts of our bodies. Different strokes are applied with a variety of verve and character. Having this variety  from different animators is a genius concoction and any limp words are happily sprung to life.  All the different opinions one may keep private make give extreme pleasure in this short film.

Occasionally, your darling precious children will go down the wrong route. Not saying they will, but certainly the allure of being totally and completely naughty could set them off on a horrible path that would see them as degenerates; low-lives behind bars that have smashed all their prospects like the window of the car they’ve just stolen. At some point, a crook will be found in the road, leading your sweetness and light into become, well, a crook.

Oh poor little Henry or Henrietta.

So how do you steer those sticky, loud, and garish angels away from a life of excess, sin, and all the nasty bits in between.)

That’s the plot in Jason Jeffrey’s darkly comic movie A Teachable Moments

The film revolves around a criminal who is shot whilst committing a robbery. Though he makes it some way in his getaway car, he inevitably becomes to week to carry on, collapsing in a heap by the side of the road. When a woman and her young son pull up, he thinks his luck is turned around – that is until she uses his predicament to show her wayward son that crime doesn’t pay.

The short black comedy is a brilliant bite of satire and wit as a man fights for his life against a woman’s nagging parent routine. The delivery is ridiculously good by performances such as dominant Grace Glowicki and the bewildered (and, bleeding from his gut,) Ash Catherwood. Of course, there is the brooding Ethan Tavares who sighs and huffs in the background as a petulant child despite the, you know, gooey bits oozing out of our thieve. It comes together in a wonderful way, centered on the bemusing premise, followed by the accurate dialogue.

A Teachable Moment is a great eight minute film that certainly serves as a wonderful remind of the potholes one could make on the road to ruin. Perhaps to be shown in schools? Perhaps not but it is definitely a movie to make you chuckle.
