Craig Welch’s 11-minute film was made in 1996. It’s a beautifully drawn and conceived piece of work, vaguely surreal as animated films often are but also with some Symbolist qualities:<\/p>\n

Welch has stated that one of the original influences for the film was Arnold B\u00f6cklin’s painting Isle of the Dead<\/em> as well as Norman McLaren’s 1946 NFB animated short A Little Phantasy on a 19th-century Painting<\/em>, which incorporates the B\u00f6cklin work.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A pity, then, that Welch doesn’t appear to have made anything since. Watch How Wings Are Attached to the Backs of Angels<\/em> here<\/a>. (And thanks to Jescie for the tip!)<\/p>\n
