The Astronauts
To my friends on Earth, I is alive, I is up there.
Directed by Walerian Borowczyk, Chris Marker
Produced by Les Films Armorial, Argos films
A surreal, high-energy animated short that blends sci-fi adventure with absurdist humor and dreamlike logic, driven by whimsy rather than coherence.
An inventor builds a homemade spacecraft, and uses it to have various adventures, including peeping at women, visiting ‘human’ planets, and becoming involved in intergalactic warfare.
