Ray Gun Fun

Simon Pummell | UK | 1998 | 12' | | IFFR 1999

A film in which the fantasies of a little boy, left alone with a ray gun and a doll’s house, proves more dangerous than he expects. Ray Gun Fun looks at children’s games through the eyes of a child, as a game of power and violence, love and hatred, fantasy and real boundaries.
