Who doesn't know her: Pippi Longstocking, the strongest girl in the world, with the red pigtails, broad grin and her companions Mr. Nilsson and Little Uncle. Together with their friends Annika and Tommy, they experience a wild and crazy summer. When Pippi moves into the village, everything immediately seems to be turned upside down. Of course, there is a lot of trouble with adults who don't really want to see the little tomboy in their orderly world. But whatever rules and order the adults have come up with are simply thrown overboard by Pippi! From a police alarm to a cheerful bank robbery - nothing goes according to plan, and that's exactly what makes this movie such great fun for young and old. Pippi on the Run is pure joie de vivre, a firework of humor and unconventional ideas that will leave you laughing and immersed in Pippi's crazy world.

Color Flight is pure anarchy of color and a prime example of Len Lye's stenciled imagery. Sponsored by Imperial Airways (the predecessor of British Airways), it included the airline's “Speedbird” symbol. To the rhythm of Red Nichol's “Honolulu Blues” and a rumba by the Lecuona Cuban Boys, the shapes explore the screen and come to life. Len Lye developed his very own visual style in the New York avant-garde scene from the mid-1930s onwards. Using stencil techniques and simple lines scratched directly onto the film material, he created veritable symphonies of images. When it comes to transferring rhythm into images or creating music from images, Len Lye is definitely the right man for the job.
