This sends us on a groan inducing journey of their owners to fish them out of the electronics and in to the real world and then out of the real world and in to the electronics, all the while Petar Pasic is able to squeeze in surreal imagery involving pigs in different television shows, piglets accessing robotic limbs, and a goofy sub-plot involving the pig farmer's wife and a pig wrangler, all of which had me counting the seconds. Ultimately Pasic drops all pretense and completely hurls outlandish visuals at the audience in the finale where a botched lynch mobbing ends in mismatched body parts, a pig head, and three little piggies. I was more than happy to finish this, and Pasic surely won't be garnering my attention toward any of his shorts again any time soon.

Hurling unusual and weird imagery doesn't make your short an automatic art film, and "E-Pigs" proves it. At fifteen minutes, it's an excruciating mess with a lack of focus, a lack of purpose, and zero narrative of meaning behind it.
