We lied. We are not at war. There is no enemy. This is a rescue operation.
My contribution:
Chronopolis (1983, dir. Piotr Kamler): Weary immortals inhabit a metropolis in the sky and amuse themselves with constructions as they kill time and await whatever comes next. Very striking atmosphere and an interesting synth soundtrack. I want to say I found it for the first time as part of a Boards of Canada music video years ago. Stuck with me ever since.

More (1999, dir. Mark Osbourne): An overworked factory worker dreams of a better life. Well done claymation with a great soundtrack in the form of New Order's "Elegia" (you might know it from that one metal gear solid trailer).

I have a huge playlist of short/experimental animated films on youtube focusing mainly on Poland. I'll :justpost: when I have a moment to go through and pick out my personal highlights/cut out the ones that are over an hour.

I've never heard of Susan Pitt before today, but I enjoyed this. Will be checking out more of her works for sure.


A while back I posted about my playlist of polish animation. Unfortunately, since then my playlist has a bunch of removed/deleted videos so I have to plug some gaps, but here's one I enjoy from 1966 titled Wszystko Jest Liczbą(Everything is a number) by Stefan Schabenbeck.

It's a kind of funny and playful bit of animation that reminds me a little of Edwin A. Abbott's "Flatland"

If this breaks the thread rule about no music videos I'll edit this out, but I found something really cool I wanted to share:

Le Chasseur d'Horizon (2019)

Director: unknown. The youtube channel this was uploaded to appears to be some kind of collaboration.

Synopsis: A man chases his doppleganger across a series of futuristic landscapes.

The animation matches the soundtrack really well, and there's a striking sense of visual style.

Apologies for the :effort: post but there doesn't seem to be too much out there on this.
