Found Film Friday: GERMANS IN THE WOODS
The world of animated film has seen more dramatic fare in the past couple of years, with titles like PERSEPOLIS and WALTZ WITH BASHIR. The Rauch Brothers are a team of animators who have followed in those footsteps and made their own animated emotion-filled tale. Their black and white short tells the story of Joseph Robertson, an 86-year-old World War II veteran, who fought in the Battle of the Bulge. Now 60 years later, one German soldier he took the life of still haunts him to this day.
For your viewing pleasure, I present to you your Found Film Friday for November 20th, 2009. The amazing stop motion, 2D GERMANS IN THE WOODS.
See it after the jump!

Found Film Friday is a weekly series inspired by the neat videos I sometimes come across in my frequent perusing of the Internets. Whether they be short films, fan-made movies, experimental films, music videos, comedic spoofs, cats playing Rush covers on a mini drum set, or anything else that does not fit into those categories, I enjoy the accessibility of interesting content the web provides in way of the moving image. And so, because I want to share these gems of video with you good people, I post a video of the week also known as Found Film Friday.
