Hunger

A surreal, formally inventive satire that uses rapid visual metamorphosis and early computer animation to critique greed and indulgence against a backdrop of global hunger.

In this Oscar-nominated animated short film, director Peter Foldès depicts one man’s descent into greed and gluttony. Rapidly dissolving and ever-evolving images create a contrast between abundance and want. One of the first films to use computer animation, this satire serves as a cautionary tale against self-indulgence in a world still plagued by hunger and poverty.
