Ton Crone

Street

A small man (hat, tie, case) is waiting on a busy city road for the moment he can cross the street. But when the crossing lights turn green, it does not necessarily mean the cars cooperate. An animation in an angular style, stripped down to its essence, in which the figures are first drawn and later seem cut-out. An agitated tune further speeds up the tempo of this one-minute big-city tale.

My Dear Grandma

Grandma is having a rough time. She runs back and forth as a drudge between a crying baby, his mother who is on the phone (and wants grandma to refill her coffee) and his father who reads the paper (and continually needs a light). Nobody says anything, but grandma is driven up the wall by the sounds and dreams of a quiet summer's day. In partly coloured black-and-white drawings, this short animation shows the essence of what psychologists call the 'grandma-as-a-slave-syndrome'.

God on Our Side

Inspired by Picasso's Guernica (1937), this film is fundamentally about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Sientje

A simplistically rendered girl screams and cries, and her environment changes to reflect her thoughts and mood.
