In the Shallows (2024)

Directed by Arash Akhgari

Animation | Experimental | Short

Overview

Walking down the street or sitting on a commuter train, few of us can resist the siren song of that small, illuminated device in our pockets. Through a carefully choreographed collision of hand-made sculptural collages and ink and paint animation, In the Shallows, by first-time NFB filmmaker Arash Akhgari, takes us on a deep dive into the shallow and fragmented world of news, entertainment and ads, where we can easily drown in the dangerous allure of mass media intoxication.

Viewing Notes

Nifty short using a variety of mixed media to convey this overwhelming and claustrophobic feeling of living in the digital age.
