This candy coloured nightmare rocked audiences upon its release and catapulted maker Suzan Pitt to the front ranks of indie animation. Stunning cel animation propels its blank-faced protagonist into the world of the phallus, rendered here as a field of asparagus, which she deep throats, excretes and flushes away...The film's stunning set piece occurs before a claymation audience who gape as the artist opens her Medusa's box to release rare wonders. A moving meditation on art and the cost of reproduction, Asparagus remains, twenty-five years after its release, a benchmark of single frame intensity.

美子向他心爱的学长表白了。但是被拒绝了。然后，这个貌似安静的女生会发生什么事情呢？ 这部片子时长2分22秒但是镜头转接却非常之快，历时半年，作画数1131幀。但是这部片子并非出自工作室之手，而是是由5个在校学生完成的片子。 作品的场景风格与恶童有几分神似，动作方面相当夸张，而且是典型的日式夸张动画，与之前看到的欧美的夸张风格不一样，让人想起黑客帝国动画版里面的渡边信一郎导演的《世界纪录》，可见在日本动画学校，原画方面的功力相当深厚。

Just watched this on the National Film Board of Canada site where they have about 300 of their material presented for your enjoyment. Having previously viewed and commented on a couple of shorts associated with animator Ryan Larkin, I was excited when Street Musique was presented on the NFB site twice in both French and English title form (otherwise, it's the same film). Starting with black-and-white live-action of a fiddle player and a mandolin player performing on a downtown sidewalk, Larkin then does abstract line drawings on white that become images that are very hard to describe. He then does some watercolor (at least that's what I think it is) images that are likewise. All this is done to the music of those two players that matches the drawings perfectly. Nothing else to say except for anyone who loves abstract animation, I highly recommend Ryan Larkin's Street Musique.

An animated adaptation of Franz Kafka’s acclaimed novella, “The Metamorphosis,” made from carving images into sand with glass.

Morir de Amor is a charming little tale. It's a story that focuses on two caged parrots reminiscing of memories past as their owner sleeps nearby. A rather important memory that the owner was not privy to. While the beginning starts out rather ho hum it quickly recovers with its quirky charm, humor, and rather subtly becomes rather poignant as the story nears completion.

This short film tells the story of Jesus' birth without being sentimental. It uses a quite simple style of animation and no words. Yet, the end product is simply amazing. The film itself is mostly sepia-toned or sepia wash over color. As for the art style, it looks almost like folk art, but it also is quite complex because there is ...

Good animated short film about a corporate guru who settles in Blowhard, a city where there's a lot of dragons, but no electricity or heat. But our man has a plan: use the dragons to produce power! And so a new utilities is born, Consolidated Dragon! But the dragons are a non-renewable source of energy. Soon, black-outs are inevitable. And those environmentalists who want to save the dragons! This is not good for Consolidated Dragon's profitability. Oh! but they forgot about wind power! Great way to look at our society and its materialistic way of life. Made in 1978 but still of its time.

An animated, dark satire of America's automobile-obsessed, consumerist culture. An anonymous, brilliant scientist toils tirelessly in his ivory tower satisfying the public's ever-increasing demands for novelty and status consciousness, with predictable environmental consequences.

Three scantily-clad female figures struggle to hold up the crumbling remains of an ancient Greek temple.

She was the nymph who found refuge in the river reeds when the goat-god Pan pursued her. Syrinx is the first film of Ryan Larkin, a young artist from Norman McLaren’s student group. To illustrate the ancient Greek legend of how Pan made his pipes, he employs various charcoal sketches. Accompanying music is Claude Debussy’s Syrinx for solo flute.

An Artist violently grinds stones and uses the sand to create animated drawings. His first picture is the Garden of Eden. Once Eve becomes pregnant, all the tribulations of the real world are unleashed upon her. She follows through dream-like sequences populated with crying birds, brick-wall-faced bureaucrats and pensive philosophers in seemingly petrified poses. Irritated, repressed and allured by each other, the creatures on the screen start living a life of their own. Gradually, a dark climax builds up. Will the Artist himself be able to handle so much emotional intensity?

宽大的餐桌前，坐着一个一本正经的男子。他面前的酒杯里放着一枚鸡蛋，他拿起勺子，准备享用这个无上的美味。然而奇怪的事情随即发生，当勺子敲打鸡蛋时，竟从蛋壳里发出询问的声音，“嗨，是谁呀？”。男子对此非常好奇，于是开始不断地敲打，而那个神秘的声音也从闻询变成质疑、愤怒甚至恐慌，好像在阻止可怕的事情发生一般。不过男子兴致高涨，干脆捏破了这枚鸡蛋。 恶作剧结束，奇怪的声音销声匿迹。当男子端正坐好准备进餐时，又一件奇怪的事情发生了……

The best thing about KATTEN MONS is the incredibly cool claymation art. The story itself of a very, very hungry cat that eats anything and everything is only okay, but it doesn't matter too much since the film is more like a piece of art than a traditional film. As for the clay, the story is told using two-dimensional ableaux that morph and change before your eyes. It's all rather hypnotic and cool and is well worth seeing.
