Summary The collection includes a series of wonderful animated films by Gisèle and Nag Ansorge, made between 1957 and 1991. It is a representative selection of short films from the Ansorge's oeuvre, restored by the Cinémathèque suisse. Some of the most beautiful works are designed using the sand animation technique developed by Gisèle Ansorge: in 'Anima' (1977), living beings are in a state of constant transformation, and bodies, such as those of a mother and child, flow into one another; a bonus of the collection shows a making-of of 'Anima'. 'Les Corbeaux' (1967) tells a fantastically gruesome fairy tale about the adventures of a rider, while "Le petit garçon qui vole la lune" (1988) is a highly imaginative tale of how a boy's theft is linked to the phases of the moon. Gisèle Ansorge (1923-1993) and Ernest, known as Nag Ansorge (1925-2013), made a lasting impression on national and international animation with their films. Inspired by the work of Jirí Trnka, they began experimenting with a Super 8 camera and animated puppets. Encouraged by the festival success of 'Les Corbeaux', they created ten more short films together. View more details
