Animations of the late Eastern Bloc (1980-1997) (NC 18+)


‘Take a kilogram of ideas (if possible, not too confused), fifty kilograms of talent, and a few thousand drawings. Stir it well and then with a bit of luck you won’t get the right answer to your question.’ – members of The Zagreb School of Animated Film

Samizdat Eastern European Film Festival 2024 is proud to present the second instalment of bizarre, eerie, and unique animated films from the late Eastern Bloc (1980-1997). A surgery is performed on a bust of Joseph Stalin, a yeti living in the mountains of Kazakhstan gets to listen to The B-52s, a school of vengeful fish attacks a seaside village, and a man pawns his face to buy a lottery ticket – this is a collection of some of the most dreamlike and thought-provoking shorts from a time and place where the animated image served as a stage for radically unprecedented artistic and political expression.
