Beyond the Uncanny: Classic Stop-motion

Whoever thought animation is always cute and cuddly hasn‘t seen these dark stop-motion animated shorts yet. Don‘t come crying to us when you‘re having nightmares about rubber organs and blood.

Together with EYE, KLIK! compiled a program filled with horror and made all the more eerie by that uniquely tactile stop-motion quality. This program alternates between the claustrophobic inside and the dangers from the outside world. Beyond the Uncanny: Classic Stop-motion features classic shorts such as the Quay Brothers’ Street of Crocodiles.

With an introduction by Anna Abrahams, programmer at EYE.

This program screened as part of KLIK! Amsterdam Animation Festival 2013
