Nail / Nael / Žebelj

Heino Pars (Tallinnfilm)

1972, USSR (Estonia), 8'40''

Satirical and experimental stop motion consists of 4 segments: "Love", "Creep", "Hooligan" and "Circus". The relationships between the nails are aptly and humorously shown. The Soviet censors rejected it at first as too abstract.

Satirična in eksperimentalna stop animacija iz štirih segmentov: »Ljubezen«, »Čudak«, »Huligan« in »Cirkus«. Odnosi med žeblji so prikazani na spreten in duhovit način. Sovjetski cenzorji so film sprva zavrnili, ker je bil preveč abstrakten.
