005. - Fallen Art.

One of the movies shown during Poland St Underground was Fallen Art (Sztuka Spadania) (2004) by Tomasz Baginski, an animation I saw a few times already, as one of the 'priviliges' of being a pole is to know who Mr. Baginski is or, at least, to heard about him. There was a small nuanse I did not pay attention during previous viewings. It has a Heath Robinson machine in it!

The movie tells a story about a forgotten military base somewhere in Pacyfic. People departed there are old, mind-ill generals that army can not get rid off in any other way. One of them has a passion for photography, another for young soldiers and the other one for something completely different.
well, the other one creates an art, an animation, kind of ballet made out of photos of dead bodies with blood splashed on the ground round them.
The machine that is being used to do it (animation, kind of 'line-tester') is an interesting object itself - definately Heath Robinson inspiration. Theoretically.

It's a definate suggeston for Mike, when buying new 1st year room's furniture.
