    Fantoche 07's first programof shorts is available to view now on the Internet
    "Flash&Co" is a compilation of nine animated films which have been made for the Internet and can be watched online. Fantoche has made "Flash & Co." in collaboration with "Webcuts", the Berlin Internet Film Festival. The films being presented show the rich diversity of the content and the aesthetics of animation on the Web.

    For example, there's "Elephants Dream" by Bassam Kurdali, a film which only came about thanks to the medium of the Internet. It was made exclusively using open source graphics software. Therefore, this high-quality work is now available for anyone to download free of charge.

    "I Am Not a Biscuit" by Brad Wolfley, on the other hand, is an extremely simply made, low-budget production. This tale about the destiny of the son of a pretzel and a biscuit is amusing, but also carries a deep message. This is a film which attracted its audience thanks to the Web.

    The Brazilian production "Tyger" by Guilherme Marcondes allows you to escape from reality and immerse yourself in a whole new world. Right now, for example, on an ordinary Tuesday afternoon.
