The Burden

Niki Lindroth von Bahr | Sweden | 2018 | 15 min

This utterly atypical and gloomily absurd puppet musical was made by a Swedish director who has managed to excellently connect smooth animation with original stories already in her previous films. Her latest film is a sequence of scenes from various commercial places where the inhabitants, here (once again) portrayed as animals, go through various forms of existential anxiety and boredom.

Miss Todd

Kristina Yee | United Kingdom | 2013 | 13 min

Nostalgic musical Miss Todd takes place in 1909 in the era of the famous and infamous beginnings of aviation. The story of a proud and brave girl in this predominantly male world is based on real events. The ambitions of the heroine were matched by the director who used the unusual technique of cutout stop-motion animation in real space.

Dancing Animals in Love

Ben Meinhardt | Canada | 2004 | 2 min

An excellent parody of musical numbers from Walt Disney films. A mass choreography of dozens of not particularly cute bunnies and other often unidentifiable animals turns into a show that is definitely not suitable for children. A fresh and rhythmic film full of various ideas.

Stones

Katarína Kerekesová | Slovakia | 2010 | 26 min

This riveting atmospheric musical with elaborate choreographies is set in an atypical setting of a quarry. This gloomy place, where ten men work in a stultifying routine, is unexpectedly visited by the wife of one of them. Will she brighten the depressing place and bring a little humanity to it? The men seem to be as hard and unyielding as the rocks they move in a mechanical rhythm.
