ZGODOVINA SVETA V PIČLIH TREH MINUTAH / HISTORY OF THE WORLD IN THREE MINUTES FLAT
Christopher Mills (Michael Mills Productions Ltd.)
Kanada/Canada, 1980, DVD, 4’
Tudi tako lahko gledaš na človeško zgodovino. Še zlasti, če si vsevedni stvarnik, a še nisi izgubil smisla za humor.
This is one way of looking at the history of man. At least, if you are the all-seeing creator and still have a sense of humour.
PREBUJENJE / LE REVEILLE / THE WAKE UP
Francine Léger (Nanouk Films)
Kanada/Canada, 1982, 16mm, 5’
Ta preprost in pretresljivo lep animirani film oživlja spomin na dogodek, ki je spremenil potek francoske zgodovine na ameriških tleh, na deportacijo »nevtralne francoske frakcije«, Akadijcev.
In this simple and achingly beautiful animation the memory of an event which changed the course of French history in North America, the deportation of the Acadians, or “neutralist French”, is brought to life.

MESAR LUPO / LUPO THE BUTCHER
Danny Antonucci (International Rocketship Ltd)
Kanada/Canada, 1987, 35mm, 3’
Čudaška zgodba o nesrečnem mesarju, ki vzame stvari v svoje roke, je prav tako nezaslišana, kolikor je bistveno zaznamovala sodobni razvoj animiranega filma.
This bizarre tale of an unhappy butcher who takes matters in his own hands is as outrageous as it is influential.

PRIMITI TOO TAA

Kanada/Canada, 1986, 35mm, 5’

VAŠE IME V CELULITU / YOUR NAME IN CELLULITE
Gail Noonan (Cartoonan Films)
Kanada/Canada, 1995, 35mm, 6’
Ta izjemno duhovit animirani film predstavlja drastične in absurdne poskuse, da bi si izklesali popolno telo. Neka ženska se trudi slediti nemogočemu idealu »popolnega« videza, ki ga narekuje moda, to pa jo pripelje do tega, da si napihne prsi in reže noge, da bi le iztisnila vso maščobo ... Ko film prekorači vse meje manipulacije s telesom, se fikcija strašljivo približa realnosti.
Drastic and ridiculous efforts to create a perfect body image are presented in this hilarious animated film. A woman’s attempts to keep up with fashion’s impossible image of “perfection” lead her to pump up her bust line, clear-cut her legs, squeeze out that fat… Fiction is just a little too close to reality as the limits of body-shaping are stretched.

Al Sens (Al Sens Animation)
Kanada/Canada, 2000, BetaSP, 4’
Satirični pogled na produkcijo animiranih filmov v vse bolj pomanjkljivo financiranem kontekstu. Al Sens razloži, kako »ohraniti trezno glavo«, ko ustvarjate animirani film s proračunom, ki je manjši od »cene ene pice«.
A satirical look at animation production in an increasingly underfunded context. Al Sens describes how “to keep a cool and detached head” when creating animation with a budget under “the price of a pizza”.
