Animalia Paradoxa
The list of fantastic, mythical animals compiled by Carl Linnaeus in his seminal 18th century work Systema Naturae could well be the seed of Niles Atallah’s Animalia Paradoxa – an eccentric tale set in a post-apocalyptic world that follows a strange creature struggling to survive.

From one of the producers of _The Wolf House_, _Animalia Paradoxa_ is an experimental fantasy film that features stock footage and marionette stop-motion animation scattered against an apocalyptic background. It's unlike anything I've seen before and incredibly memorable. **Full review:** https://bit.ly/animoxa
