A selection of animations from today’s animation screening about altered states and inner space.
I liked this animation because it a very beautiful, clean and fluid work. I never felt that the voice over was too intrusive nor did I feel that the voiceover was too overt.
I loved the idea of this animation and it is executed absolutely beautifully. Ruth discussed this film in terms of depression, but it speaks to mental illness more generally even if that is not the only human condition it discusses.
Unfortunately, I cannot find the animation posted online by the artist. However, his film Angry Kid also uses the same mask pixilation technique, which I found to be incredibly compelling.
