Video: 25 Degrees 5 Minutes; a story of obsession, mathematics, and snow

Irish filmmakers Brown Bag Films – the Oscar-nominated, award-winning animation studio – have released one of their films to the world on YouTube just in time for the unseasonally cold weather.

23 Degrees 5 Minutes is a 10-minute short based around a student in Trinity College and his professor, obsessed with the fundamental mathematics of the world. Professor Orit, however, acts on his madcap theories, prompting is student, years later, to follow him on a journey to the top of the world.

The film stars John Hurt and Stuart Townsend, and produced by Colm Tyrrell, and written by Darragh O'Connell and Austin Kenny. Made in 2011 (and nominated for an IFTA in 2012) the full short was only uploaded to their YouTube channel earlier this month.
