2018
Animated film, about the formation of the Master - inspired by the work of Roman Polanski. Surrealistic picture with elements of macabre absurdity situation, metaphorical struggle of matter in shaping man and creator. The "body substance" slides off the window, like the hero of the film "The Tenant." Paradoxically, another collapse is shaping up a human figure who finally performs a master perfect somersault and strongly lands on the ground. The fully formed pratagonist is Roman Polanski - famous film director.

Children and Matches
1969 · ★ 6.5
A cut-out animation warning for children about the danger of fire and playing with matches, far from the grim warning of your typical PSA and anticipating the complicated human psychology of Norshteyn's subsequent work. And, no doubt, there is a metaphor aimed at the power structure. 1968-69 was a crucial period of transition for the animator, breaking out of the pack at Soyuzmultfilm and beginning to script and co-direct films. Not listed on imdb, this is one - if not the first - of his first solo works as director.
