The Vanished World of Gloves
Directed by Jiří Barta
Produced by Krátký film Praha – Studio Jiřího Trnky
A playful, visually inventive stop-motion essay that uses gloves as a vehicle to riff on cinema history, blending surrealism, pastiche, and whimsy with an undercurrent of decay.
Using an array of gloves in different styles and from different historical periods, the film is a short history of the cinema - from silent movies via pastiches of Buñuel and Fellini and Close Encounters of the Third Kind to a futurist junkyard where tin cans become animated police cars in a city of urban decay.
