How Wings Are Attached To The Backs of Angels by Craig Welch (1996)

Well i finally found it. I saw this short film last year and for the life of me could not remember the name of it or where I saw it. The images inside cast a spell on me and I have been unable to forget this jem. Stark black and white animation with no words creates a surreal world, Poe like in its macabre and phantasmagorical delivery. Science that dissects and reduces angels to mere obsessions. Utterly fascinating in its use of sound. Its almost as if you could step inside and walk around in this emotionless world. I just don't think you'd make it back...
