The Scarecrow (1921)
A drunken gardener is challenged to a poker match by agents of the Devil; replete with location shots in Hades of the Devil giving orders to his agents on Earth.
Midnight Wedding (1921)
The film is a delightful tale of a spoiled wedding between child's toys which shows Starewicz's typical style of making amusing films appropriate for children without much sentimentality. As in many of his other films, his daughter Nina plays the role of the child.
The Voice of the Nightingale (1925)
A partly-animated short film, a fairy-tale-like telling of why the nightingale only sings at night. A young girl who has caught a nightingale dreams about the nightingale and its mate, and comes to realize that birds are not made to be captive but free. In return for its freedom, the nightingale loans the child its voice for use in the daytime, which is why nightingales only sing at night.
The Queen Of The Butterflies (1927)
A little girl acts out her role as Queen of the Butterflies until a spider arrives to complicate the situation.
***ATTENTION***The film is Silent with some brief French audio***This film Fetish 33-12 is the original version designed by Irene and Ladislas Starewitch before undergoing cuts by distributors. In 1933 Irene and Ladislas Starewitch produced and directed a film about 1000 meters long entitled intially 'LS 18'. Under pressure from distributors length has been greatly reduced, the film became Fetish Mascot, about 600 meters, distributed in 1934 , the first episode of a series. In 1954 L. Starewitch designed Hangover using images from 'LS 18', which were not included in Fetish Mascot. Just recently reconstruction of the original film was started by using multiple copies of Fetish Mascot distributed in the United Kingdom and the United States of America, and negatives of Hangover, preserved in the archives of L. and I. Starewitch. In 2012 'LS 18' has found its length and assembly from 1933, hence the title Fetish 33-12.
The Claws of the Spider (1920)
In Dans les Griffes de l' araignée (The Claws of the Spider), Wladyslaw Starewicz shows the tragic end that awaits a fly who decides to leave his village for the bright lights of Paris.
