The Game
1962 4+ 13 min
by Dušan Vukotić
Boy and girl are fighting as a part of their game. They start slowly by drawing pictures: girl draws flower, boy draws car which run over flower, girl destroys car on a drawing etc… Their fight is increasing until they destroy all the papers and pencils. Nice mixture of animation on real film with very anti-war statement.
