Balablok Explores Human Nature

Balablok explored human nature in this simple but profound paper cutout shape short.

Created by Director, animator, and puppeteer Bretislav Pojar in 1972. This beautiful short stands the test of time.

This speechless stop motion short film won the Cannes Film Festival’s Palme d’Or du court métrage in 1973 from the National Film Board of Canada.

“Here is an animated replay of the human comedy as amusing in its perception as in the way it caricatures humanity’s propensity to resort to violence rather than to reason.” – Bretislay Pojar
