Zbigniew Rybczynski

A short animated film by Zibgniew Rybczynski. All the events take place in a single room. The same simple scene is replayed over over, each time with more detail and characters. Won an 1983 Oscar for the best animated short film. (User: velocipedist)

Bodies fluctuate in the nocturnal space of a cathedral, in a choreography in which life merges with death, like in that giant format music video that is "The Orchestra" composed of six phantasmagoric "musical frames."

Using then-cutting edge compositing and chroma key effects, Rybczynski shows a tour guide with his group (in colour) wandering through the famous (black and white) "Odessa Steps" sequence from Eisenstein's Battleship Potyemkin. (imdb comments)
