Anapoda

Directed by Octavian Fedorovici, music by Alexander Balanescu & The Balanescu Quartet.

Description: A weird little piece of Romanian animation, created by a student of the Cluj Napoca university of Arts and Design. Although the overall meaning, I have to say, eludes me a bit, it is a refreshing bit of animation with an interesting technique and some touching violin notes to go along. Enjoy.

Directed by Frederic Back, story by Frank Giono.

Description: Considered by some to be a masterpiece of the animation world, “The man who planted trees” is a rather simple story of an even simpler shepperd and his solitary sustained effort to restore life to a desolate barren valley. Using classic crayon animation, Frederick Back tells a beautiful story that also teaches an important lesson about the power of a single person and the change that can be born of even the smallest of things or actions where there is a will to do so. A must-see for everyone.
