The Red Balloon
Le Ballon Rouge
France 1956 |

In this near wordless tale, a young boy discovers a stray balloon that seems to have a mind of its own, while it wanders through the streets of Paris.

White Mane
Crin Blanc
France 1953 |

In the south of France there is a near-desert region called La Camargue. There lives White Mane, a magnificent stallion and the leader of a herd of wild horses too proud to let themselves be broken by humans. Only Folco, a young fisherman, manages to tame him.
