Echo

Rúnar Rúnarsson is one of my favorite Icelandic filmmakers, and his 2019 "Echo" is one of my all-time beloved cinematic poems. It's a collection of "unrelated" 56 very short episodes, all describing the feeling of "Iceland during the Christmas holidays". It's a newer, 2nd level Roy Andersson. I highly recommend it.

Animal Farm

Animal Farm is a 1954 animated drama film directed and produced by John Halas and Joy Batchelor and funded in part by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), who also made changes to the original script. Based on the 1945 novella Animal Farm by George Orwell, the film features narration by Gordon Heath, with the voices of all animals provided by Maurice Denham. The rights for a film adaptation were purchased from Orwell's widow Sonia after she was approached by agents working for the Office of Policy Coordination, a branch of the CIA that dealt with the use of culture to combat communism. Despite being a box office flop, taking fifteen years to generate a profit, the film quickly became a staple in classrooms. - Wikipedia [more inside]
