LITHUANIAN ANIMATION 39 - STILL - ILJA BEREZNICKAS - BOGEYMAN 5

Lithuanian animation has a history dating back one hundred years, starting with one of the greatest pioneers of animation: Ladislas Starewitch, a natural historian who taugh himself stop-frame filmmaking in order to make his insects specimens move. This retrospective, spanning the entire century and lovingly put together by curator Dasa Vanova, features puppet, hand-drawn, cutout, shadow theatre techniques and computer generated films, and a very dark streak of humour that runs throughout. With thanks to the Lithuanian Ministry of Culture.
