Lev in pesem / Lev a písnička / The Lion and the Song
Břetislav Pojar
Czechoslovakia , 1959, 35mm, 17'00''
A famous film story about the indestructibility and everlastingness of art. It is not a mere coincidence that exactly this topic is repeated so many times in Czech animation. Pojar's story of a harlequin who is survived by his art is the first one to develop this motif. The film was very successful internationally and it is a masterpiece of both Czech and world animation.
