Synopsis:
A series of cinematic miniatures about the essence of music and the process of its reception. Music is first excreted, and then received. Sausage or spherical. The resulting sound is not the actual sound of the instruments shown, but the perceived timbre of abstract music representation.

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.
