I don't know if it's heartening or frustrating to see the obsession with short clips even 50+ years ago. But that was fun to watch. Glad to learn about Khitruk!
I found Othello-67 so funny—I laughed out loud. Good for him.
BTW I didn't realize micro-short length for films were so controversial! While I'm leery of "practical" reasons like marketability or saving money driving an animation's length, and I'm with Khitruk on what he's mocking—not everything should be a minute long!— I do think there's something interesting about ultra-short formats. Of course the point is that the work should drive the length, not "practical" reasons. Anyway, I loved that piece.
I'm going to have to figure out how to watch Tae-il...
Lastly, thanks so much for mentioning the free access for animation pros to this year's Oscar-nominated animated shorts! I just signed up. Exciting!
