His first animated film, Return, was completed in 1972, and demonstrates beautifully Kucia’s interest in the interplay between reality, memory, dream, and emotion.

As the fresh 8oinks member I would like to present myself with the movie I did in collaboration with the director Alexander Markov, but besides our humble personae – an outstanding St.Petersburg artist Boris Koshelokhov.

The guru of the Leningrad artistic under-ground, Boris Koshelokhov survived the post-war orphanage, vagabond life, swapped numerous occupations, endured political persecution, but nonetheless produced a spectacular body of works.
Now he has come up with a plan to create one of the biggest works in the history of art: a 5000 square meter painting. The preparatory stages of his project are finished…

When Madame Tutli-Putli was first being discussed as a concept for an animated short film, one of the most important creative issues was how to bring human emotion and expressiveness to stop-motion puppets.
Portrait artist Jason Walker created the technique of adding composited human eyes to the stop motion puppets. Walker developed a system of separating and analyzing the previously shot stop-motion puppet moves, choreographing, rehearsing and shooting a human actor’s corresponding “eye performance” to match each puppet move, at the same time recreating as closely as possible all light and shadow passes original to the stop-motion. Once the human eyes were shot, each eye was individually positioned, scaled, re-timed and digitally composited onto the puppet scenes on a frame by frame basis.
The creation of the film and this extraordinarily painstaking process took 4 years from concept to completion of the 20min Shortfilm by Chris Lavis and Maciek Szczerbowski.

The hungu is an African musical instrument, ancestor of the Brazilian berimbau. Its origins are carried on in an ancient tradition. Inspired by the grace and raw beauty of African rock paintings, Nicolas Brault combines 2D animation on a graphics tablet with the warmth of sand animation, thus uniting modernity and tradition, Brazil and Africa, music and memory.

This is a little known documentary based on the book Future Shock by Alvin Toffler.
This movie came out in 1972 and features Orson Welles as the narrator. I was most amused by the high amount of paranoia in regards to the future… some of the segments (like people choosing their own skin color) are downright hilarious. Worth a look - at the very least for its historical value. (via)

Winter Days (冬の日 Fuyu no Hi) is a 2003 animated film, directed by Kihachirō Kawamoto. It is based upon the renga of the same name by the 17th-century Japanese poet Bashō.
The creation of the film followed the traditional collaborative nature of the source material — the visuals for each of the 36 stanzas were independently created by 35 different animators. As well as many Japanese animators, Kawamoto assembled leading names of animation from across the world. Each animator was asked to contribute at least 30 seconds to illustrate their stanza, and most of the sequences are under a minute. (via)
Winter Days won the Grand Prize of the Japan Media Arts Festival in 2003.

This short film by Terri Timely, Synesthesia, like the films of David Lynch, envelopes you in a dreamworld.
The film explores synesthesia - the subjective sensation of a sense (such as sight) different than the one being stimulated (such as sound).

Imagine walking into a disused building. You find yourself inside a film. It is a ghost story where unexpected forces, veiled by the American Dream, come out from the dark to haunt you…
It Felt Like a Kiss tells the story of America’s rise to power in the golden age of pop, and the unforeseen consequences it had on the world and in our minds. Beginning in 1959, the show spotlights the dreams and desires that America inspired during the ’60s, when the world began to embrace the country and its culture as never before. But as this daring production unfolds across five floors, blending music with documentary and the disorientating whirl of a fairground ghost train, the audience is forced to face the dark forces that were veiled by the American dream – a dream that ultimately returns to haunt us all.

Enigmatic, hypnotic, oneiric, geometric, obsessive, indeterminate, non-linear, disjointed, haunting, cold,… Just few adjectives that fit in painstaking 1961 film L’Année dernière à Marienbad by Alain Resnais (director) and Alain Robbe-Grillet (writer). This dream-like film is subject to many interpretations due to its inherent abstract and indeterminate nature. (E.g. read here a possible philosophical connection of the film to Rene Descartes’s Meditations).
