An animated black and white western with lots of vaginas, boobs, and other sexual imagery, and I frankly know of no reason why not all westerns should be like this.

Part of my effort to watch at least one short film per day. Here is the list I am currently working through, with a random number generator determining the film each day. I will take recommendations for everything that's 40 minutes max.

Andreas Hykade films ranked

Features some gorgeous, woodcut-looking animation and great, great sound. Kind of thing that is better for not trying to make total sense. 

Sure it was all very sex-obsessed, but it kind of works given the vaguely Western environment. It’s a world seen through the eyes of two cowboys after all. 

A gem of a thing, well worth your 15 minutes.

For some reason our movie isn’t in letterboxd but it’s the best fucking movie I’ve ever seen in my life

Interesting and somewhat trippy short animated film, but felt like it went on a bit long.

my friend and i staring at the screen like 👁👄👁

Mindbending story with smooth, fluid animation. Also boobies lmao

Very strange Old West piece that echoes with shades of Gerald Scarfe and Burgess, as we follow an unconfident cowboy in what seems like a whorehouse outpost.
This is the second of Hykade's trilogy, and again we see a young man confronting a vision of the world that grotesquely objectifies women. He must navigate his own belief system and become his own man.
The piece is a tough pill to swallow as it's tone isn't really understood until the end - up until then, it's not entirely clear if this vision is a celebration or a critique. But like the title says, this burning ring of fire is a vision of hell and he must save himself.

Mi cortometraje favorito.

Me watching this short while knowing nothing about it:

Expectation: 🤠🤠

Reality: 👁 👄 👁

It’s as mesmerizing on my dozenth watch as it was the first. For all of its extremely suggestive imagery it also resists a 1:1 interpretation of said images, proving once again that superficiality is the strength of this medium, and animation its most dependent form on that superficial mastery.
