My friend Paul Bush, who has died aged 67 in a road traffic accident, was an experimental film-maker and film teacher. His film-making work focused on replacement animation, in which objects are replaced between frames, lending a magical instability to the physical world.
Paul’s first short film, Furniture Poetry, replaced pieces of furniture and fruit, but later he went on to replace actors, with his films Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and Pas de Deux de Deux swapping out two pairs of protagonists between each frame of film, while keeping the action continuous.

Oz The Great And Powerful | Side Effects | Broken | Parker | The Guilt Trip | Robot & Frank | Babeldom | Fire With Fire | The Princess Bride
Oz The Great And Powerful (PG)
(Sam Raimi, 2013, Us) James Franco, Michelle Williams, Mila Kunis, Rachel Weisz, Zach Braff, Joey King. 130 mins
Putting adjectives like "great" and "powerful" in your title is asking for trouble, but then "expensive" and "underwhelming" probably didn't fit on the poster. Raimi's prequel apes the original Wizard Of Oz in many respects, but refuses to stoop to camp comedy, or song-and-dance or anything too childish. As a result, this green-screen tribute to smoke and mirrors feels decidedly short on magic.
Side Effects (15)
(Steven Soderbergh, 2013, Us) Rooney Mara, Jude Law, Channing Tatum. 106 mins
A stark reminder of both the pitfalls of the antidepressant industry, and how dull the movie landscape will look if Soderbergh really does retire (as he's threatened). Mara's troubled New Yorker is...

Paul Bush's debut feature-length film is a fascinating meditation on the cities of the future
There's a sort of refrigerated strangeness to this cine-meditation on the concepts of cities and the future, the debut feature-length piece by established short-film maker Paul Bush. It's about a fictional megacity called Babeldom, glimpsed initially through breaks in an icy fog: the Tower of Babel, as imagined by the elder Bruegel. Fascinatingly, it's not an actual model, or an animation, but something in between, and this image segues into perspectives of actual cities – lonely, dark, eerily untenanted places. Bush's own prose-poetry, decanted into two reading voices, tells us how the archaeological past is compacted underfoot while the future wafts airily overhead. These ideas are juxtaposed with computer-modelled graphics, whose purpose is to simulate, re-enact or anticipate the forms and growth patterns of future worlds and cities. There is something of Iain Sinclair, Jg Ballard and Italo Calvino here,...

★★★☆☆ In his feature debut, Babeldom (2012), award-winning British experimental animator Paul Bush has made an old-fashioned visual essay exploring the very concept of a city. Referencing the biblical 'Tower of Babel', the film numerous incorporates images from London, Dubai, Berlin, Shanghai, Barcelona and Osaka, to build up a palimpsest vision of the modern day metropolis for the watching viewer. As an archaeologist states at the beginning of Bush's unconventional effort: "The past is here, under our feet, we can't retrieve it, but we walk over it every day of our lives, until we die and become a part of other people's past".
