Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it a #Chinese #spy device?
Don't shoot it down!
It's #TheRedBalloon, the silent, sentient title character in Albert Lamorisse's 1956 fantasy dramedy that became a global cinematic sensation.
The 34-minute classic about a #Parisian boy's interactions with said #balloon is the only short #film to have won an #Oscar in a writing category (#BestOriginalScreenplay).
Additionally, it won the #PalmedOr for short #films at the #CannesFilmFestival.
