Trailer of the Film That Will Never Exist: ‘Phony Wars’
Godard’s last film, a trailer for a movie that will never exist, shows a series of collages on what appears to be photographic paper, and is about Belgian surrealist/poet Charles Plisnier, who was expelled from the Communist party in 1937.

The Beatles vs. The Stones（Production: Dog & Rabbit）
The Beatles Vs The Stones Animation from Dog & Rabbit on Vimeo.
The battle of the bands, at last. 2D animated slapstick and anarchy as The Beatles and The Rolling Stones attempt to outdo each other with trickery, silliness and cake fights. Winner of lots of awards in festivals around the world.
