The Raftman’s Razor by Keith Bearden [YouTube]
A wonderful short movie about a ultimate comics super hero. A comic hero of minimalistic magnitude, thinking, and not thinking. A common hero, stranded, like everyone else.
Once forgotten, we are truly perfect.

The Tale of How [70MB MP4] [YouTube]
The singning reminds a bit of Burton’s the Nightmare Before Christmas. The animation, however, is totally different. The story, as it seems, can be told in many visual languages. This one, taken from the depth of our times, is probably one of the most wonderful ones. It has been take from the depths, such things are not invented, they exist from the beginning of time, in our collective mind, carved into our earth. Otherwise, I will not be able to explain such great pieces such as this, such operatic thrills.

Running in the forest. Demons behind. Wolfs, they are. But are wolfs really nothing but our inner demons coming to attack us from behind. We can see nothing, our back is always hidden, always chasing us. Always after us. Lagging, but yet leading. Places have their past, their back. People have their past, leading. Are we leading or led? And to where? A remarkable remake of the Little Red Riding Hood.

What is that you like? What is it that you hate? It’s kind of difficult to answer these questions, and mostly takes time. Maybe I should sit down and start making a list. It will take time, maybe a year, maybe two, but it could sum up to be one hell of a wacky list. This is the short that pushed Delicatessen into greenlight.

There are freaks in the UK. There are freaks who see the UK, who see London, and this is how it looks like in their eyes. Awesome mix of animation, CG and video footage, that tells a whimsical story of modern London. If you ever wondered how a mix of Amelie and Joanna Newsom will look like, stop wondering, the answer is here.

This 8 minutes movie has a most wonderful title. The movie itself it great as well, but it’s title that really makes it such a great piece. This is not a music post, as from time to time I would like to post about other cultural stuff I bump into.
Le Chien Andalou [MOV]
Poster of the movie [2]
Surrealism doesn’t have to be so nightmarish, however it definitely can be. Le Chien Andalou (The Andalusian Dog) is a short experimental film by Salvador Dali and Luis Bunuel, and if nightmares were silent and black and white this how they would have looked like. Thinking about it again, sometime they are silent and in black and white.
