Abiogenesis (2011)
Beautiful piece of animation art
The deeper theme of this short film seems to me the joy of creation. It plays magnificently with transformations of mechanical and biological forms.
It tells a story about seeding (or supporting) lifeforms on a barren planet. So, I have to disagree with the previous reviewers, that there is no story. What do you expect to see, before you label something a story - talking faces??
At several points in the film I ask myself: Could this be possible? From a chemical/biological standpoint I have to say "no, that's not how it works". Nevertheless, the visual ideas are inspiring and the sound is equally good!
Konets vechnosti (1987)
Very authentic
This is a very authentic Soviet TV adaptation of Isaac Asimov's novel "The End of Eternity", which in turn is one of the most impressive stories about time travel I read.
I remember watching it in East German TV in the mid 80's. It was in form of a short series and wasn't synchronized in German, only with subtitles, but nevertheless captivating.
Some years later I discovered the book by Asimov and noticed, that I know its story already...
There weren't so many TV and movie adaptations of science fiction stories produced in Eastern Europe before 1990, and this is definitely one of the best.
