Hanawa Hekonai Kappa Matsuri

I saw this at an obscure film archive exhibition around 2017. The artist who made the installation wasn't around, so I couldn't ask them what the films on display were called. It was part of a loop which included several other films. The titles weren't mentioned anywhere. The staff also was not able to tell me what any of it was called. After years and years of digging I stumbled upon this obscene website that holds a few stills of this movie. I was blown away when I found out this is actually from 1917. Maybe the fact that it was exactly 100 years old ... at the time explains why I saw it at that exhibition back then.

I remember cracking up when the grandpa kicked the guy behind him which made him fly away like some sort of beyblade. Shit was ahead of its time. I cannot believe this made me laugh harder than any other animation ever did (besides Plastic Neesan, maybe).

EDIT: I tried to include a picture I took of when I saw it at the expo. Sadly MAL won't allow images in reviews
