Keeping Mum

Short animated Hungarian film.

The first animated short film to feature Varga's clumsy claymation character Augusta.

A lone eagle guides us towards a secluded canyon where two gunfighters silently face-off, each waiting for an opening.

A man "experiences" current events as he reads about them in the newspaper.

Silent cartoon.

Eternidade

Mendelssohn is on the Roof

When marauding Romans capture - and catapult - their pal Getafix into lands unknown, the shrewd and cunning Asterix and his able sidekick Obelix spring into action! But their journey leads them to a strange and dangerous new world, where they must face a tribe of Indians, a stampeding herd of buffalo and a medicine man with designs on their magic potion!

Asterix and Obelix depart on an adventure to complete twelve impossible tasks to prove to Caesar that they are as strong as the Gods. You'll roar with laughter as they outwit, outrun, and generally outrage the very people who are trying to prove them "only human".

An abstract computer-generated film. The image is of squares revolving in space around and through each other. Colors and forms multiply and divide against a beautiful symphonic score by George Kleinsinger.

Minha Primeira Memória

King's Fool

A man's repeated attempts to retrieve an apple off a high tree branch all prove fruitless. What does he want the apple for? That would be telling.

Five delirious seconds that have it all: beginning, middle, and end.

A nostalgia trip in the enigmatic labyrinth of the passed childhood.

An impressive parable where the artist’s creativity is paralyzed by the dull crowd can be seen as a metaphor for a totalitarian system. Cleverly designed animation shows the artist as a tied man whose creativity is hindered by the crowd. A visually attractive film with very interesting editing won an award at the Annecy festival in 1983.

Whispered to by an ancient tree, a young shepherd dreams of more than his simple existence among grass and sheep. The journey he embarks on brings him into contact with golden birds, a dragon and a fair damsel.

A pencil and an eraser start to fight with each other.

An homage to Emile Reynaud, the first man to project animated films on a public screen.
