An earlier Grant Lahood short film starred a snail — but, for Lemming Aid, he called on a highly accomplished cast (including Fiona Samuel, Katie Wolfe, Stephen Papps and Emily Perkins) to tell his darkly humorous tale of culture clash between a Norwegian adventure tourist and New Zealand animal rights activists, trying to save lemmings from their supposedly mass suicidal urges. Samuel and Wolfe are the stars of this Cannes runner-up where lofty ideals count as much as more base human emotions in the attempts to halt the thundering rodent.
