Películas

The 22nd Annual Animation Show of Shows
Director
This 22nd edition comprises 10 films -- nine recent, along with one restored classic -- which deal with both the anxieties and hopes of a world faced with a seemingly endless series of existential crises. All are inventive, their tone ranges from the whimsical to the profound; their techniques, from stop-motion to hand-drawn to computer-aided.
Good and Better
Director
"It's hard to imagine what will be better, it's much easier to think what will be worse." The video for the song by the Israeli songwriter and singer Tonya Gertner was shot by the famous Israeli-German director Gil Alkabets based on his paradoxical and absurd drawings that speak of anxiety and uncertainty in the future.

Trim Time
Writer
The film tells the story of a tree that during the course of the year receives a rather radical pruning of its foliage. In the course of this simple story we go through the four seasons of the year; The transfer from season to season is accentuated by the music, as well as by the change of colors from silent grays of the winter to vivid green in the summer. The comic effect in the film is achieved by the contrast between the lazy and sleepy character of the tree and the active and jumpy character of the barber.
