Balloon Man visits a nursing home





"In 1996, Addi Somekh and Charlie Eckert began traveling to different places in the world to make balloon hats for people and take photos of them. The goal was to show people all over the world laughing and having fun, and to emphasize the fact that all human beings are born with the ability to experience joy. In total, they visited 34 countries and have over 10,000 pictures."

"The Other Gods" animated silent film


Another excellent “silent” offering in the same vein & quality as the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society’s “The Call of Cthulhu”. Absolutely brilliant in its skillfully crafted simplicity! Cut paper puppets hauntingly reveal a story of the “other gods”…

"Barzai the Wise, a high priest and prophet greatly learned in the lore of the "gods of earth", or Great Ones, attempts to scale the mountain of Hatheg-Kla in order to look upon their faces, accompanied by his young disciple Atal. Upon reaching the peak, Barzai at first seems overjoyed until he finds that the "gods of the earth" are not there, but rather the "other gods". Atal flees and Barzai is never seen again."
