A collection of psychedelic Pop Art influenced animated films made in 1970s Tallinn.
Within the official cinema circles of the Soviet Union, animation was mainly targeted towards toddlers, young children, and teenagers. Here, on the other hand, the artists had clearly used children-oriented cartoons as a means of artistic expression, and experimented with the possibilities of the film medium in general and this created a discrepancy. These selected films appear as fragmented manifestations of post-Second World War youth culture that also filtered into the ‘wrong side’ of the Iron Curtain. (Andreas Trossek)
