He gave us an unforgettable and unique childhood. What was the great Russian storyteller really like? A documentary film about Eduard Uspensky.

Melancholy and tender reflections on solitude and misunderstandings, with a profusion of graphic detail. Human shortcomings tie the dramatic knot of the story. Everybody finds his way to be unhappy. Everybody is looking for love.

Wonderfully strange and interesting animation from the very talented animator Igor Kovalyov while he was working at Klascy Csupo Studio in 1996.

A young quirky girl finds her way in a crazy world.

Impending trouble in the form of a cat descends upon a mouse settlement

This animated short focuses on the lives of three eccentric people living on a farm in the Russian countryside. Told in a non-linear, stream of consciousness style, the film depicts the deceitful relationship between a master and his two servants.

Extraordinarily detailed and beautifully drawn animation of a bizarre and surreal world; the domestic life of a fat man, his wife, a sort of oversized obese chicken, and their child/pet, a slug-like creature with a human head. This expressionistic and interior vision of Soviet animator Kovalyov is like an animated Eraserhead. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive, Academy War Film Collection, in 2007.

But eventually the cat affects the tree as well...
