A Portrait from Our Century
Egy portré századunkból
Skip to sidebar
An associative animation of photos and paintings, showing mankind’s history and the fortunes and misfortunes of life one can trace in a human face. Modern life, it seems, can’t escape the horrors of war and genocide. Still, there’s the joy cinema provides: light, colours, movements…!
– Olaf Möller
