Estonia/Germany | V.O. - Without dialogue | 2011 | 4 min | Experimental | Canadian Premiere
?Hurdy Gurdy? is the english term for a barrel organ. Just like a barrel organ that repeats its song over and over again, everything in this film is in constant motion: trains, cars, airplanes, ships and people. Yet what is real and what is fake@ This short film uses its extraordinary aesthetics to question reality.
