1972 cartoon, directed by Andrei Khrjanovsky, features a variety of artistic techniques and visual styles – from photography, to oil on canvas, to watercolor, to pencil animation. It has a disjointed feel about it, with its extreme long shots, stop motion and symphonic score by Alfred Schnitke (the same guy who composed music to “Ballerina on the Boat”), but is also very beautiful in a whimsical, art-house sort of way. It tells a story of a boy who catches and collects butterflies, until he has a dream about giant butterfly chasing him. The cartoon won a special prize at Gijon International Film Festival in 1973. Enjoy :)
