The Kettle-Drum
1973, Bulgarian. Directed by Todor Dinov.
An artist's hand tries to draw a drummer with various tools and techniques, but he cannot do it for some reason. Finally he pinches his index finger and draws the drummer with his red blood. The drummer starts hitting the drum and the artist tries to erase it with no success. At the end the artist's hand remains white and motionless while the blood-drawn drummer keeps drumming.
