| Brief Description: | Ladislaw Starewicz created some of the most imaginative and lovely works of puppet animation ever filmed. While working in Russia, he directed the legendary The Cameraman's Revenge (1912), a story of love and infidelity among the insects, and the newly rediscovered The Insect's Christmas (1913), a dazzlingly beautiful film of the yuletide celebrations of a Christmas tree ornament and his tiny friends. After relocating to Paris, he made the political allegory Frogland (1922), the hand-colored fable Voice of the Nightingale (1923), the irresistible The Mascot (1933) and the snowland fantasy Winter Carousel (1958). B&W and hand-colored. |
