fallen art

The Saturday Morning Cartoon Index is a wonderful collection of animated short movies. Since it is saturday morning ;) I am going to share some of my favourites with you and I will try to do so each saturday!

Today's animation is Tomek Baginski's "Fallen Art". Brilliant character design and a very dark concept define this wonderful piece. You can read an interview with the filmmaker, including concept drawings, here.

"Through My Thick Glasses" by Piotr Sapegin (2003)

In Pjotr Sapegin's animated short, an old man tells his granddaughter of his experiences during the Second World War in an attempt to distract her while putting on her winter hat. The tale is filled with strange characters, surprising plot twists and a world far beyond the little girl's comprehension. Using clay animation, the director takes a true story and gives it a tongue-in-cheek treatment. The film is dedicated to his mother.
