[Frameworks] Experimental Animated Documentaries

Wed Oct 28 16:31:30 UTC 2015

Some years ago I figured out a set of shows of animated documentaries. 
Not all adhere to your "non-narrative structures" request, and this is
more than five years old, but here are some, and you can argue over my
classification of them as docs as well (some distribution notes from my
working document are still here)
