How Wings Are Attached to the Backs of Angels

"How Wings Are Attached to the Backs of Angels" is an appetizing animated film by Craig Welch.
Overgrown with symbolism that can only be defined as weird, Welch's short appears to be a product of the grungy style best pioneered by Eastern European animators in the last century, surreal dreams, and creepy literary imagery conjured by the likes of Franz Kafka and Bruno Schulz. The animation challenges viewers to formulate their own answers to the question in the title, as a parting shot fired from the same mental cannon much of the weird aesthetic hurls from, whether or not this piece was directly inspired by any weird fiction in particular or not.
