>I was wondering if this has a name?
Well, it's based on Azeribaijani carpet art... so I guess that would be the place to look, if there's a particular name for it. I think the name would be the name of that particular carpet art style...

It is precisely one of the strengths of cutout animation that it allows for a wider range of visual styles (at the cost of being harder to animate smoothly).

Absolutely loved the technique, colours and surrealist scenes on this! Will definitely save it on a playlist

I agree in a lot of this! I was looking for more info of the director but couldn't find more stuff more than his profile on animator.rus, which is a shame because I wanted to see more stuff exactly like this oof. Cut out is one of my favourite animation techniques recently, and every film is different in aesthetic but this one in particular caught my eye. I was wondering if this has a name?

Oh, good to hear! Actually I didn't mind much that the site didn't have many content markings as it is relatively now, so I just marked this in the comments just in case. I think marking it as aimed as adult is good enough to avoid showing it to younger audiences by mistake.

Right now, would it be fine if I mark some "heavy scenes" (graphic stuff) in the comments just in case as CW/TWs (only if it's really present)? or would it be ok to leave it as that? Just wondering !

Quick analyisis: I believe tihs could be an interpretation of how the knight, after being celebrated by wealth and popularity, became as ruthless and authoritarian as the dragon.

A nice but entirely unrelated short poem with the same name was written by Svetlana Miroshina in 2020.

I'm conflicted about this one. There's nothing really wrong with the plot, but the execution is weird - the animation is either too complex or very crude - the whole approach feels very amateur. And the director had been making films since the early 1970s, so it's not like he was a newbie...



Comment on Firefly 5 (1964)

This film probably belonged to the line of low-budget works so it used very simple materials. But in return, its aesthetic is quite high and is also very close to the psychology of children in the years before computers. I absolutely love films like this !



Comment on The Song of the Cheese Spirit (1997)

I find just about all of Smirnova's films so interesting, surprising and enjoyable. It's a shame that she had to have her career exactly in the era when the money for this sort of thing was barely available, and was not nearly as artistically productive as she could have been only a decade earlier.

There's still one film of hers I'd like to translate, but I can't find it - «Когда я был лягушкой» (1992, Приз МКФ «КРОК – 93», Киев).

I wish a nice HD scan of this existed rather than this faded print. Degtyaryov's Firefly 4 has much nicer colours and detail...
