This rare homemade movie by Joyce Randall depicts Artist, Sculptor, Doll Maker, Greer Lankton in an impossible number of positions, time lapsed. She manages to cover every square inch of the room before the film is done. Greer's friends often mention that she used to like to tie herself up in knots and stay in contorted positions, as well as sit in unusual poses that demonstrate her flexibility, so she and her sister created this home movie on VHS.

A line – drawn directly onto the film by Urs Graf. A film that makes no explicit statements, but in which one can (optionally) have an experience – for other lines/images/words.

Experiencing the medium as a medium allows one to more consciously find access to the meaning behind other lines/images/words.

In this sociologically inspired cartoon examining children’s drawings and stories, the imagination-rich pictures of kindergarteners are gradually replaced by drawings done by primary school pupils that envision a fully automated (robotized) everyday life in the spirit of modern technological development.

As one of the boys puts it: “I’m going to be a footballer, or a doctor, or a grocery store deputy manager.”

An animated film which satirizes man's insatiable desire for material things and the imminent destruction of the earth due to this greed.

The adventures of Possible Possum and his swamp-bound friends.

For a young mother happiness can be an hour's stroll in the park with her sleeping infant--but happiness is short-lived when the baby begins to cry and the passers-by pause with freely proffered advice.
