Original title: Dialogos

2008 | Animation, Other types of animation | Director: Ülo Pikkov

Dialogos is an experimental animated film, where all the visual material of the film is drawn directly onto the film stock. The film is founded on absurd humour. The theme of the film is contemporary high-tech society, where too many sign systems exist.
