W grocie Lascaux

A film from the "Impressions" series, made using cartoon and combined animation techniques. The author of the film brings rock paintings from several thousand years ago to life. In the flickering light of a campfire, he shows the interior of the Lascaux cave. He reveals details and fragments of surviving paintings to the viewer. He shows animals frozen in motion, just as they were captured on the stone walls by the first painters. The paintings come to life to recreate dramatic hunts and herd migrations—scenes that fascinated and inspired the artists of the time.
