With the complicity of a painter, an elderly man recovers youth and manages to wander through paintings.

Le vol d'Icare es el segundo corto del maestro suizo del cine de animación Georges Schwizgebel y por su originalidad y virtuosismo ya hay quien la considera su primera obra maestra. La técnica hace uso de enormes píxeles, otorgando a la película un aspecto muy digital y muestra los repetidos intentos de un hombre en volar como los pájaros. Debido a su técnica, aunque las figuras del hombre o las aves estén simplificadas en extremo, son reconocibles al instante.

Short film by Zbigniew Rybczyński.

A surreal journey of a displaced spirit as he wanders in the interminable darkness through the temporal landscape of a quaint and isolated feudal-era fishing village. Guided by a series of faintly illuminated rooms, the wandering spirit comes upon ancient souls who take on physical forms as they recount their personal stories of daily existence, loss, and tragedy in the peasant community. Intrigued by his initial visit to a curiously distracted elderly woman, the spirit returns to her home in order to ask a fundamental question - "What is happiness?" - an existential query that is innocently answered with innate humility and accepted unknowingness.

A fishing village falls prey to a nightmare revenge from the sea. Award-winning Yugoslavian animated short film.

A six minute short made in New York City by Jeffrey Noyes Scher.

In his experimental short film "Brutalität in Stein" (Brutality in Stone), Alexander Kluge demonstrates how Nazi architecture used dimensions of inhuman and super-human scale to bolster the regime's politics of the same kind. Shots of huge neo-classical architectural structures from the Nazi period are confronted with equally anti-human national-socialist language as a voice-over.

The first Studies were synchronized with records (Fischinger made a total of 13 Studies all without sound). It was only with the introduction of sound, beginning with Study No 6 that the films did full justice to this musical principle. The play of the white lines, the arcs, and the upside-down U’s running hither and thither like ballet dancers was brought into perfect synchronization with the music, and thus the films offered an abstract illustration of the melodies. Study No 6 is certainly the best of his films in terms of forms. - Hans Scheugl and Ernst Schmidt, Jr.

The landing on D-Day and the ensuing battles and bombings martyr the peaceful area giving the earth thousands of body instead of seeds. In the last part, the dreadful aftermath of the steel storm is shown both with sympathy for the victims and hope for the future, since all these sacrifices, whether military or civilians, have not been in vain.
