The Futurist Manifesto, written by the Italian poet Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, was published in the Italian newspaper Gazzetta dell’Emilia in Bologna on 5 February 1909, then in French as “Manifeste du futurisme” in the newspaper Le Figaro on 20 February 1909. It initiated an artistic philosophy, Futurism, that was a rejection of the past, and a celebration of speed, machinery, violence, youth and industry; it was also an advocation of the modernisation and cultural rejuvenation of Italy” More info about this here The very interesting video you see that combines combines live action and animation has been created by Drew Christie

A lonesome late-night drive is the subject of this Single Sentence Animation from Nathan Englander’s “The Reader.”

“And with all those headlights floating divided in his rearview mirror, Author never can tell which belong to his reader, which pair is his beacon, a North Star, split, cast back, guiding him on.”

Single Sentence Animations are creative collaborations. The writer selects a favorite sentence from his or her work and the animator creates a short film in response.Created by Drew Christie for electricliterature
