Hen, His Wife

Extraordinarily detailed and beautifully drawn animation of a bizarre and surreal world; the domestic life of a fat man, his wife, a sort of oversized obese chicken, and their child/pet, a slug-like creature with a human head.

Dutch visual artist Jeroen Offerman spent three months learning to sing Stairway to Heaven backwards. He then stood in front of St. Paul's Cathedral and recorded it with air guitar, head banging and all, while people strolled past him with stunned looks on their faces. He reversed his recording and added Stairway to Heaven's music track, resulting in a most amazing rendition.

Black Ice

Inspired by a bad fall on a patch of black ice (that ultimately resulted in Brakhage's need for eye surgery), the filmmaker gives us something of a dreamlike descent through the fear and refractions of closed-eye vision regarding such an event.
