Like Jan Svakmajer, Jiri Bart is a Czech animator with a gift for isolating the bizarre aspects of human behavior and movement. Club of the Discarded (1989, 25 min) is his nightmarish masterwork, in which a family of mannequins come to life in an abandoned ware house. Austrian animator Sabine Groschup shows a delightfully quirky sense of humor in her colorful shorts Morgen, Madam Mona (1989, 2 min), All Das All Bardi has come fun with pixilation in his supremacy II (1993). Vlado Kristi and Ivo Urbanic?s La Peau De Chargrin ( Yugoslavia, 1960) sports superb, flaming gold and red decors for its tale of a compulsive gamber who makes a pact with the devil, while Julie Zammarchi?s surrealistic APE (1992, 5.5 min) and Swiss Army Knife with Rats and Pigeons (1981 8 min): Flip Johnson?s Pulp (1990, 9 min) and I (1991, 4.5 min) by Hollie Lavenstein
