The Sinking Of The Lusitania (EOTWS)

End Of The Week Shorts #4 extract: The Sinking Of The Lusitania (1918)

A somewhat early example of animation, one that showcases a serious approach to the form, utilising the hand drawn style to depict what cameras of the time would probably have failed in capturing in such a poignant manner. With cartoonish impressionism, a significant moment of WWI is then written into narrative stone for the first time to construct a short that is just as astounding as it must have been 99 years ago. 

If you've not seen The Sinking of the Lusitania, certainly give it a watch.
