IFC celebrated it's anniversary in 2008 by showing "modern classics". I've got free tickets to the Premier and invited Ashley and Garro to go together. Ashley picked La Ballon Rouge/White Main, unforuntately she wasn't able to leave work...
This is actually 2 short films. The first one is La Ballon Rouge was made in 1956 in France by Albert Lamorisse. The thirty-four minute short film, which follows the adventures of a young boy who one day finds a sentient, mute, red balloon, was filmed in the Ménilmontant neighborhood of Paris, France.
It won numerous awards when released in its day, including an Oscar for Lamorisse for writing the best original screenplay in 1956 and the Palme d'Or for short films at Cannes.

Albert Lamorisse used his children as actors in the film. His son, Pascal Lamorisse, plays Pascal in the main role, and his daughter Sabine portrays a little girl.
It's a colored movie in 1957 about an adventure of the little boy with the red balloon.. and at the end... balloongs save him from those bad kids...
The 2nd one is boring to me... we should have watched Blow Up...
