Cartoons, comics pretty stepsister, is always a big interest of mine. I personally think doing it myself would melt my mind, but I get a lot of inspiration from it. I’d recommend tracking down Foam Bath/ Bubble Bath by Kovasznai: youtu.be/J60e4JX-D2sFeature length Hungarian freak out film- about a guy getting cold feet right before his wedding day and trying to woo his betrothed’s friend, it’s very psychedelic animation with a touch of imagist style. DeForge showed this on his movie stream last year and I’ve been obsessed with it. Tracked down a nice monograph on the director, who had a pretty fascinating career.

I like this still so much after many years since first time I watched. maybe because of the simplicity, kind of humor, or also because it reads a lot like a comic.

On the Hungarian film front, I heartily recommend Son of White Mare, a great 1981 film by Marcell Jankovics. Campbellian folk tale with heaps of Yellow Submarine-styled psychedelia. It's on the Criterion Channel now. youtube.com/watch?v=oQpIt3WgDHg&t=16s

I just learnt of what looks like a very cool animation movie produced in Spain in the 50s, but it only was shown once in a movie theater, ended up being a commercial faiure and was thought to be lost afterwards (its title is Los Sueños de Tay-Pi (Tay-Pi Dreams)). Luckily, it has been restored and it is gonna be shown soon in Madrid's main art movie theater. I hope it becomes more widely available, cause it looks rad.
Some info here (in English).

I don't know if he screened it, but this was another one DeForge cited as a favorite animated film.

It seems Cine Doré (the art movie theater I mentioned) will be screening it on the 29th of this month. I wonder if the interest will be wide enough to put it out on dvd and/or blu-ray. If not, I hope they somehow put it available online in any other way.

I've been trying to hunt down an animation from the 2010s I saved years ago on tumblr. So hard to find something thats just a bunch of key words! Think it was on vimeo. It was this short film about a hunter gatherer tribe, they wore pelts in the snow. In the trailer a young hunter fights a huge elk/buck in the snow while sitting in a tree, they've got a bow and arrow. At some point they pull grubs out from behind the bark of a tree? It was such a beautiful piece of animation I really wish I'd bought it off their page. Almost Miyazaki like. Trying to find some movie through the key words, hunter snow animation bow and deer while using the terrible search engines of vimeo, letterboxd, tumblr and google is driving me crazy. Ring any bells anyone?

It was my last day in Spain and I didn't have any more cash, and 1 ticket didn't qualify for their card minimum. I told the guy to just sell me 2 or 3 tickets, they were cheap anyways only €3. Then he just gave me a free ticket. I'll never forget that! Beautiful theatre too. Looks like their showing it on 35mm, I hope it's digitized soon.

El Cine Doré is my favourite place to go watch movies. Like you say the theatre is beautiful and the movies are usually pretty good (and cheap tickets! I think that's why there is also a nice mix of both young and elderly people going there).
One funny memory there was watching Eraserhead and as the movie went on, some elderly people were standing up and leaving, and one of them shouting on his way out: "What is this shit?!!!" hahaha

Haha. Reminds me of when I worked at this similar theatre here in Richmond. We showed A Clockwork Orange and an elderly couple bought 2 tickets, but they said they'd never heard of the movie. I do not believe they enjoyed themselves!

I recently discovered Jan Svankmajer. Amazing stuff.
Dimensions of Dialogue (1982):
The dialogue of two in this reminded me of another short I really like: Plus and Minus (1967) by Eino Ruutsalo

First time I've heard about this animation, but I just had to watch it right away after reading that it played for years on a double bill with Eraserhead!

Just learned that Masaaki Yuasa's Inu-Oh (with Taiyo Matsumoto character designs) should be out in U.S. theaters next Friday (August 12th). Will probably be worth seeing in a theater.
I recently saw this pretty crazy short www.youtube.com/watch?v=U625vX0E4N4 "Hunger" by Peter Foldes, which is from 1974 but using computers in it? Made with Canadian art council money. Foldes and his wife made "A Short Vision" in 1956, which is this really nightmarish and upsetting thing that nonetheless aired on The Ed Sullivan Show.
