LESS TIME FOR MOVIES LATELY, THERE’S A KICKSTARTER IN TOWN!
If this gets fully financed, all my »Lillen« comic strips — plus plenty of illustrations — will be collected in a large, nicely produced book. Check it out, share, comment — and back the project!

Very crude, and very short. Contains a few decent visual gags, but as a whole does not qualify for my book of train rides.
Wacky and absurd enough, but very far from the genius of the original comic strip’s surreal and existential shenanigans.
An enjoyable bagatelle. Not in my book.
Unashamed cultural appropriation of The Wild West mythos, managing to tick almost all of the relevant trope boxes and then playfully meta-twisting them.
A bit slow, but rather brilliant in its own peculiar way. Maybe in my book.
Innocent early Space Age animated short. More silly than funny.
Not bad, though not in my book of elaborate pranks.
Nonsensical, clever, inventive, elegant, and very funny in its oldfashioned modernist way.
In my book of inflatability.
Extreme stylization, confusing »story«. This experimental short looks and sounds funny but is more or less incomprehensible.
As if a vintage computer game was designed by Paul Klee. Original, but not in my book.
A very concentrated dose of Honoré de Balzac, interpreted by Zagreb Film – elegant, brisk, intensely emotional, and quite impressively animated.
Gets a bit hard to grasp without knowledge of the source material, would have benefitted from being fleshed out with some background information, character motivation et cetera. Probably not in my book of greed.
Managing to look both dated and contemporary, this parable of addiction is a delightfully well conceived and executed take on classic horror stories.
Extra kudos for the evocative, creepy music. Maybe in my book of short homages.
Humoristic anti-war short with a butterfly creating chaos among the military.
Effectively told bagatelle, though the peace message rings somewhat false from a state-controlled East Bloc animation studio. Not in my heavily stylized book.
