Contours
Genres
Overview
The inhabited world is a constructed environment: a space that has been defined, created, and scaled for the sustenance and privilege of the human species alone. Humans have created a language that we cannot see beyond, one based on capital that hurdles us towards social and climate collapse. Contours reveals this position while also meditating on what it would mean to move away from this language in order to privilege not only the human but the other than human as well.

Monster Planet
This is from the Astroliner film rides. You go to this ride called the Astroliner, you take a seat, buckle up, and keep your eyes on the screen and the ride moves along with the film. There was Monster Planet and Bermuda Triangle. Stanley M. Strawn did both of these films. Also, keep your eyes peeled for two cameos from two stop-motion movies that the late, but great, David Allen worked on.

Reagan's Nightmare
If Frankenstein's Monster is to the dark side of science, King Kong is to the Great Depression, Alien Invaders (like The Blob and The Thing) is to the Communist Threat, Godzilla is to the bomb, and The Milpitas Monster and Hedorah the Smog Monster are to pollution. Now, this robotic dinosaur made of various technological devices from Japan is to Japanese consumerism and possibly globalization!

Strange Birds
The allegorical story of two humanized birds - father and son, who usually walk the earth and fly only in case of danger. The two birds are out for a leisurely stroll, playing music together and taking selfies until a hungry cat attempts to spoil their fun. After several unique and imaginative evasive maneuvers, the birds pelt the cat with apple bombs. The film is one of the jewels of the cartoon: the Czech tradition, Disney anthropomorphism and innovative pre-electronic music score.
