Anapoda

Created by Florian Thouret, with music by Nadege Feyrit.

Description: The tale of a city whose life is literally run by the movement of a windmill up on a hilltop. The people of the city move and stand still as the wind blows and stops, with the exception of one man. Led to desperation by this life, the man resort to an act of desperation, defying the inhabitants of the village and unknowingly saving it from it’s tragic fate.

Description: A wonderfully trippy scarry creation by The Blackheart Gang, featuring lots of tentacles and fantastically-looking creatures, masterfully woven together with an opera-like musical background. With the weirdness of a dream and the grace of a fairytale, this animation should prove an entertaining watch for children and adults alike.

Created by Koji Yamamura for the Greenpeace Anti-whaling Campaign.

Description (Greenpeace) :

Today, only one country in the world continues to conduct whaling in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary: Japan.

There was a time in Japan during the food shortage hardships of the postwar period when whale meat was taken as a valuable source of protein. We are alive today thanks in a very real sense to this gift, so should we not reach out in gratitude to whales now and seek a path of peaceful coexistence? This is the message behind a beautiful new animated work by director Yamamura Koji.
