Life in Celluloid
(ANIMATED SHORT – 1 minutes, 7 seconds)
Ruben Doboin 

A film character discovers freedom can be dangerous.  A man trapped inside a film projector escapes by kicking in the lens.  Free at last, he feels anger toward the projector and a sense of wonder about the world around him.  Soon he discovers his shadow, affirming the reality of his existence.  After creating shadow puppets, he accidentally pulls the projector's chord, triggering a blackout.
