Pressure Bolt (German: Druckbolzen) is a 2003 German short live-action animated film created by Benni Diez and Marinko Spahić.[1] Shot in black and white, the film has been described as a dystopian vision of the future,[2] in which what remains of the human race is worked to death in a set of repetitive and meaningless tasks.[3][4] The short film garnered praise and awards, mainly for its technical innovation. The short has been compared to the work of Marc Caro, Jean-Pierre Jeunet, Alex Proyas, Terry Gilliam, and David Lynch.
