Frank Film
(Animation 1973 Oscar Winning 1974)
„Frank Film” is a unique animated documentary that won the Best Animated Short Film Oscar in 1974. It is directed by Frank Mouris, who used a combination of photographs, magazine cutouts, and other visual elements to create an abstract and highly personal representation of his own life story. The film includes a voiceover narration by Mouris that provides insight into his thoughts, feelings, and experiences. It is known for its innovative animation techniques and use of non-linear storytelling. Despite its unconventional approach, „Frank Film” has been highly influential and is considered a landmark in the history of animated documentary filmmaking. The story features two soundtracks – in one, Frank tells an autobiography, in the other, he reads a list of words that begin with the letter „f”.
