artful moment of the day

With the Academy Awards approaching, I was reminded of one winner from a couple years ago. His name is Kunio Kato and despite his broken English, I think I enjoyed his speech the most. You should most definitely Google it if you get the chance.

His animated short film, La Maison en Petits Cubes (The House of Small Cubes) brings out the melancholy in me. It's only 12 minutes and despite having no talking, it speaks volumes. I felt a sense of loneliness, but also satisfaction as the main character looks back on his life.
