Mini

1969 · 9 min

A quiet, wordless animated montage that drifts through the ages, leaving a wry, slightly melancholy aftertaste about progress.

Directed by
Bronisław Zeman
Genres
Animation
Overview
A mini history of human development. Civilization - military - architecture - fashion. The set design and look of the characters change together with the epoch. From the point of view of the individual, progress is not a clearly positive notion.
