Check out Flutter - a beautiful black & white animated short by Howie Shia.
The film has the clear line style of a lot of great recent Japanese animation – and though I’m not 100% sure what happens in the film (maybe you can tell me?) – it’s still fascinating to watch – very playful and dynamic.
The film is presented as part of World Animation Day 2008 – October 28. In Canada, the National Film Board is holding free public screenings and events in the following cities: Victoria, Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, Toronto, Montreal, Halifax, Moncton, Bouctouche, Caraquet, Edmundston, Kedgwick.
