Fallen Art
Fallen Art (Polish Sztuka spadania, lit. The Art of Falling) is a six-minute, animated short film written and directed by Tomasz Bagiński. It features Romanian band Fanfare Ciocărlia's song "Asfalt Tango." The film was produced and created by Platige Image, a VFX company. Fallen Art received the Jury Honors at the SIGGRAPH 2005 Computer Animation Festival, and in 2006, it received the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Award.
The short opens on a platoon of soldiers awaiting their sergeant's instructions at the top of a ramshackle tower. When the order is given from below, he calls up a single soldier, proudly awards him a medal, and then pushes him off the edge to fall in a particular position onto an asphalt square. A photograph of the corpse is then brought to the leader of the operation; a retired musician, revealed to be commissioning the macabre photographs as individual frames of a deranged stop-motion project depicting a soldier dancing to one of his songs. He runs the unfinished animation in front of an empty theatre, tearfully reliving his glory days before sobering up and giving the go-ahead for the next "frame" to be produced.
