Once in a while Monty Python’s segue “and now for something completely different” rings very true in life or in art. Case in point: Project Gooseberry aka “Cosmos Laundromat,” the sixth film from open source CG pioneers Blender Institute helmed by French director Mathieu Auvray.

Produced by Blender founder Ton Roosendaal, the 12-minute black-sheep comedy which features a fully-unpredictable narrative, fine voice talent and often spectacular photo-real rendering, is the pilot for “the first-ever free/open source animated feature film.”

Director: Mathieu Auvray
