Viewing Notes

FF2018 Day 2 - Movie 1: Chilean mixed media stop-motion animation equally haunting as it’s hypnotic. Often horrific yet so impressive conveying this maddening tale of isolation. Was so lost in the painstaking craft of this I often forgot what the story was about. Filmmakers indicated that a portion of this was done as a live museum installment. Definitely a favorite of the Fest and one I want to revisit.
