Feats of Clay brings to audiences the best in contemporary clay animated films of the last 20 years. This landmark collection celebrates the 100th anniversary of the earliest form of animation. Produced one frame at a time, and sometimes taking years to complete, these articulated visions in clay offer a sensory experience for both the animator and the audience. Several of the films in FEATS OF CLAY have either been nominated or have won the Academy Award for best animated short. From the humorous to the dramatic, each film exemplifies how far the medium of clay animation has advanced since its humble beginnings.
