In 2015, the Dutch aniÂmaÂtion stuÂdio Job, Joris & Marieke, got an Oscar nomÂiÂnaÂtion for this delightÂful aniÂmatÂed short, “A SinÂgle Life.” It’s a two minute tale about how music–particularly vinyl records–can transÂport us to magÂiÂcal places. And we mean realÂly magÂiÂcal places.
SeeÂing that we don’t believe in spoilÂers, we’re not going to say anyÂthing more–other than “A SinÂgle Life” has been screened at more than 200 fesÂtiÂvals and received more than 40 awards. And, what’s more, it will be added to our colÂlecÂtion of AniÂmatÂed Films, a subÂset of our colÂlecÂtion 4,000+ Free Movies Online: Great ClasÂsics, Indies, Noir, WestÂerns, DocÂuÂmenÂtaries & More.
