someone reminded me of jiri barta in the comments of my last post
so i decided to do some googling. not only is he still alive, he's still making things. including a long-delayed movie.
i also found an interesting thing where someone took a song from nurse with wound (who make very creepy ambient music. if you like lustmord and throbbing gristle and coil, you'll like these guys) and put a bunch of Barta's animation to it. Its rather neat, so what the hell I'll post it (despite it basically being an AMV).

sadly theres more bits from his live action shorts than his cartoons in that
one odd (really ODD) thing I found is that not only is barta still about, he still makes films
like this cgi short film with little tin clockwork people who's lives are quickly ruined

mooooooooving on
quite a few posts ago I posted a film by arthur de pins called GERALDINE about a guy who wakes up one day as a girl and his amusing days getting used to be being a woman and the whole change in his lifestyle.
well it appears the FUTURESHORTS people have put another one his films online, called La Revolution Des Crabes. It was on his website, but in french. I know some french so I could figure out most of it, but i still couldnt get a large bit of the dialogue.
ANYWAYS the FUTURESHORTS people also put lovely english subtitles on it. meaning now, you can read whats happening making it a much nicer experience.

they also put up this funny cartoon by Nicole Mitchell about a nasty zookeeper getting his comeuppance.

heres a film about race from 1933 (holy crap!)
from the old soviet.
its interesting that stuff like this was made during a time period when 'blackface' was still considered non-taboo

the thing i love about youtube is that it has allowed me to glue together many shards of old memories that haunt me occasionally
for example, i've been humming this song for what seems my whole life, and only until a couple days ago did i find out what its from
its from a segment on sesame street about how crayons were made

and finally to end this post
this amazing action cartoon I found called Sigg Jones made by a student at Supinfocom (showing once again how incredible France's animation schools are). Its about a sports guy who coughs up what I believe is his soul and it turns him into a mindless killing machine. But his soul turns into super powered sneakers.
YUP
its pretty freaking cool
