An inscrutable, nightmarish, surreal dreamscape set to Modest Mussorgsky's famous composition of the same name, "A Night on Bald Mountain" is one of only a handful of short films ever created using pinscreen animation, a method in which shadows cast by miniscule steel pins positioned against a sidelit screen are manipulated to produce images of unique texture and dimension unparalleled in the field of traditional animation. Co-directors Alexandre Alexeieff (1901–1982) and his partner Claire Parker (1906–1981) built their first pinscreen device in 1931 with the assistance of Alexandre's then-wife, fellow artist Alexandra Grinevsky (1899–1976). Alexeieff and Parker then spent nearly two years animating this 8-minute film, which preceded the better-known cel-animated short "Night on Bald Mountain" from Disney's Fantasia (1940) by seven years. "A Night on Bald Mountain" represented the public debut of Alexeieff and Parker's pinscreen method.

A NIGHT ON BALD MOUNTAIN (1933) "Une nuit sur le mont chauve" Directed and animated by Alexandre Alexeieff, Claire Parker

You know it's gonna happen to us. Just thinking about what my sister said, you know? What do you mean? I just... I just wanna know how it feels. Aren't you scared? Yeah, but it doesn't matter. It'll happen to us anyway. It hasn't happened to any of the boys. Yeah, but we're not them.

Patiently waiting for the whole internet to discover Professor Marston and The Wonder Women again. It's always so fun the once or twice a year it happens.
