Harvie Krumpet (2003)

Australia
Animated Short Film
Writer/Director/Animator: Adam Elliot
Narrator: Geoffrey Rush

Elliot’s Academy Award winning short film – a claymation cradle-to-the-nursing-home portrait of Harvie Krumpet, a Polish born, Tourettes suffering, militant vegetarian nudist – proves to be a blackly comic, gently satiric, and melancholy gem, which manages, in just 23 minutes, to credibly capture a man’s entire life on film.
