Living Sculptures: Film Study for Screen Artist
A nude couple pose in an art studio on a square rug, while the camera does a circular traveling around them; the woman has her right knee on the floor and her right arm raised in front of her face, holding the man's thighs with her right, while the man is bent forward, as if looking in the distance.
Lion and Bull
Award winning animated short film by Fyodor Khitruk.
Diary

A Light-Play in Black-White-Gray
This short film made by László Moholy-Nagy is based on the shadow patterns created by his Light-Space Modulator, an early kinetic sculpture consisting of a variety of curved objects in a carefully choreographed cycle of movements. Created in 1930, the film was originally planned as the sixth and final part of a much longer work depicting the new space-time.
El desencanto
El poeta Leopoldo Panero murió en 1962 en Astorga, su ciudad natal. Catorce años más tarde Felicidad Blanc, su viuda, y sus tres hijos evocan aquel caluroso día de agosto. Y a partir de ese recuerdo surgen otros que se van encadenando. Y a través de la palabra y del recorrido por habitaciones, objetos, calles y lugares perdidos, se desvela la historia de unos años y de unas personas unidas por vínculos familiares que en ningún momento huyen de la expresión de sus diferencias y de sus identidades.
Bloqueo
El sitio más largo durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial tuvo lugar en Leningrado. Duró 900 días, desde Septiembre de 1941 hasta Enero de 1944, cuando Hitler trató de matar de hambre a una población de tres millones de personas. Se estima que el número de ciudadanos que murieron por hambre, enfermedad o congelación ronda entre los 641.000 y los 800.000. "Bloqueo" es la dramática demostración del poder del material de archivo, mezclado con una evocativa banda sonora, para devolver la vida a la Historia.
Acariño galaico (de barro)
This film was reconstructed and completed in 1995 by Javier Codesal for the Filmoteca de Andalucia, from the montage and the sound that Val del Omar had outlined before his death, after having returned to a project abandoned twenty years before with the incorporation of significant additions (above all in the soundtrack). Val del Omar's notes show that, as he typically did, he had other alternative titles in mind, such as "Acariño de la Terra Meiga" (Caress of the Magic Land), "Acariño a nosa terra" (Caress of Our Land), or "Barro de ánimas" (Clay of Souls), and that in the final phase of the unfinished project he wanted to add a second sound channel – following the diaphonic principle, and using electro-acoustic techniques – consisting of ambient material that he intended to record at the first screenings of the film in the very places and to the very people that were its origin: its "clay".
Retouches
Between a wave’s rhythm and the breath of a young woman in her sleep, some animated paintings go on modifying each other.
Aimless Walk
This first true Czech avant-garde film turns away from a purely celebratory approach to the city. The camera follows a detached protagonist on his wanderings, as his highly subjective journey becomes a fragmented visualization of urban landscapes.
Salón México
Mercedes (Marga Lopez) dances for money with the clients of Salon Mexico, a famous cabaret in Mexico City. Her younger sister Beatriz (Derbez) studies in an expensive private school, paid by Mercedes. Obviously, young Beatriz doesn't know about her sister's job. Troubles begin when Mercedes wins a danzon contest with Paco (Acosta), her pimp. Paco refuses to share the prize with Mercedes, so she steals the money when he's sleeping.
Hen Hop
This joyful short animation features a dancing hen that transforms into an egg. The film was made without a camera by Norman McLaren, who drew directly onto 35 mm movie stock with ordinary pen and ink. Colour was added optically.
