Kugelkopf
A short film inspired by the typeball in IBM's Selectric typewriter (which explains the subtitle “Ode to IBM”). The film begins with music from the opera Carmen. As castanets convey the rhythm of a typewriter, sheets are torn from a roll of toilet paper, representing the mechanical repetitions of every day life. The artist the shears off her hair. Her head, wrapped in bandages, mutates into a typeball. Her blood becomes the ink from which her ears, nose and tongue type out letters - until the entire screen is covered. The film also boasts a homage to Bunuel's “Chien Andalou”.

Dir. Virgil Widrich
A woman is kidnapped, her husband wants to save her. Not much of a story, but the film's animation technique is baffling. Made exclusively of images from 300 works of film history, the heroes change constantly in a rush of photo collage.
