Hunger
La Faim
1974 · Film · short · 12 min
Directed by Peter Foldès
In this Oscar-nominated animated short film, director Peter Foldès depicts one man’s descent into greed and gluttony. Rapidly dissolving and ever-evolving images create a contrast between abundance and want. One of the first films to use computer animation, this satire serves as a cautionary tale against self-indulgence in a world still plagued by hunger and poverty.

One of my favorites is Hunger[1] by Peter Foldes from 1974. Featuring early computer animation, mid century minimalism, unsettling and striking score, and poignant satire about greed, lust, gluttony, and the grotesque imbalance between abundance and poverty.
