The Air by Attwenger
Austria 1995 / 3 min / colour / 35 mm / 1:1.66
Synopsis
Austrias neo-folkloristic pop stars Attwenger are the heroes of this fast and funny animation film. The film combines Attwenger’s real life heads with drawn bodies and animates the hair of singer Hans-Peter Falkner. The imagery changes in perfect synchronization to the staccato delivery of the music.
