Kanizsa Hill by Evelyn Lee
January 29, 2010 6:00 am


A man is shot and can only survive as a head and a body who exist independently from one another. The forgetful body desperately collects souvenirs, while the head is lost in a series of illusions.

Evelyn Lee made Kanizsa Hill as her graduate thesis film for the Experimental Animation Program at CalArts. It has screened at various festivals including Slamdance, AFI Los Angeles, Comic Con International and the Seattle International Film Festival. It won Best Animated Short at San Fransico International Film Festival and Most Promising Filmmaker at Ann Arbor Film Festival. And now this delightfully surreal short is online:

Thanks for posting this. I saw this at the SF International Film Festival last year and it impressed the hell out of me. Very glad to be able to see it again online.

Is that the voice of Musa Brooker I hear?
