Et cetera

About This Movie

Et cetera is a curious piece from 1967 that dives into the realm of animation in a rather whimsical way. The small animated figure's journey, learning to wield a whip and sporting wings, offers this surreal exploration of freedom and function. The pacing is meandering, almost dreamlike, drawing you into its strange but captivating world. It’s not the typical animation you'd expect; the practical effects seem almost handcrafted, giving it a unique texture that adds to its charm. There's a playful yet introspective tone throughout, which feels quite distinct from mainstream animation of the time.

Et cetera has a modest presence in collector circles, primarily due to its obscure origins and the fact that its director remains unknown. The film's scarcity can make it a bit of a treasure hunt for dedicated collectors, as finding quality prints is not easy. Interest seems to be growing among those who appreciate avant-garde animation, and it often sparks discussions about its unconventional narrative and artistic choices.
