Popis: This essay, first published in 1925, argues for the absurd to be taken as the fundamental principle for animation, if not all film. To this end, Bofa, a graphic artist and critic, draws on and idiosyncratically updates Henri Bergson’s theory of laughter in order to show ways that live action can learn from animation.
