The short films:
One week
Two newlyweds, Keaton and Seely, receive a build-it-yourself house as a wedding gift. The house can be built, supposedly, in “one week”. But then Seely’s ex renumbers a few boxes.
El Hotel eléctrico
A classic that was thought lost until recently. An absurd clip, containing the very first stop-motion animation in the history of film, invented by the director Segundo de Chomon.
The Flying House
Winsor McCay’s last animated film, the 1921 classic “The Flying House – Dream of the Rarebit Fiend” follows a woman’s dream about escaping foreclosure, taking to the skies with her husband – using their own house as a vehicle!
