Trailer for Theodore Ushev Film – Lipsett Diaries
Theodore Ushev, the animator who made the ‘Help Haiti’s Children’ poster that we use on this blog, has a new short film coming. It’s called Lipsett Diaries and is about a Canadian experimental filmmaker Arthur Lipsett who struggled with mental problems and died very young. I think Ushev takes animation very seriously as art and film. I always want to draw something right after watching anything he’s made.
Animation: Khabrahol (From Russia’s Toonbox Studio)
From Russian animation studio Toonbox comes this marvelous animation based on a poem by Sasha Svirsky. I don’t understand a word of it but I love the sound of it. I really must find the woman who does the voice-over. She is just magnificent and totally fearless. The drawings are fascinating. The rhythm is catchy. Toonbox does so many of the best animations that I see. They seem to balance their commercial projects with artistic ones very well.

Animation: History of the Main Complaint
South African artist William Kentridge made this film in 1996. It concerns the recognition of white guilt expressed through the medical investigation of a real estate magnate as he lies in a hospital bed. Kentridge makes his films by drawing and erasing in charcoal. He photographs each alteration to create movement.
