This is probably the best example of paper cut stop-motion animation I have seen in a very long time – if ever.

A great little film for a Sunday morning.

Life is a balance and some things can disrupt that dramatically. This short won the Oscar for animation in 1989.

Everyone pilfers the occasional office supply – even in alternate universes.
Luminaris is the story of a man living in a world controlled by light. Each morning, the inhabitants of that world are woken up and pulled to their jobs by the sunlight, as if by a magnetic force. Our protagonist works in a factory making electric light bulbs, but has larger ambitions of his own. The setting of the film is a classic Buenos Aires, revisited from a fantastic point of view. The film uses a collage of styles, combining art deco, tango, surrealism, and neorealism.

In the spirit of She Who Measures, The Wonder Hospital questions whether our actions and desires are based on false perceptions that we, ourselves, create.
In a mysterious hospital, modification of physical beauty is not what you would expect.
A girl’s desire for superficial beauty leads her to chase after the luring ‘After’ images on a path of advertisements throughout the hospital. But in the end she finds something unimaginable and irreversible.

Sometimes any attention is good attention. Reminds me a lot of Android 207.

The British short Extn.21 has won multiple awards, deservedly so I would say. Directed by Lizzie Oxby, it is…
…a short film about one man’s desire to be heard. The film uses an innovative blend of atmospheric stop-frame animation, live action performance (a live action head on a stop-frame puppet) and digital effects to create a dark world of uncertain reality.
