I suggest some animations for this weekend! have fun!

This movie, Madame Tutli-Putli, will definitely collect a lot of awards and prizes in the future… According to NFB, this 17′ minute movie has been 5 years in the making, so judging to the trailer, I can’t wait to see it. Via Drawn.

Madame Tutli-Putli boards the night train, weighed down with all her earthly possessions and the ghosts of her past.

She travels alone, facing both the kindness and menace of strangers. As day descends into dark, she finds herself caught up in a desperate metaphysical adventure. Adrift between real and imagined worlds, Madame Tutli-Putli confronts her demons and is drawn into an undertow of mystery and suspense.

The National Film Board of Canada presents a stunning, stop-motion animated film that takes the viewer on an exhilarating existential journey. The film introduces groundbreaking visual techniques and is supported by a haunting and original score. Painstaking care and craftsmanship in form and detail bring to life a fully imagined, tactile world unlike any you have seen.

Jungian thriller? Hitchcockian suspense? Artistic tour de force? The night train awaits you.

A few weeks ago, I was surprised while visiting my local news stand, to look at the price of a PRINT MAG, it was about 40€!! no lie! No I wonder where retailers and distributors get such percentage.
Today I was reading the regular newsletter from amazon, they are now offering a 6 issue subscription for only $37. I can save ± 80% if ordering through amazon. This is not easy advertising, a serious recommendation! Click the image to access the promotion (time limited).
