This animation can be watched in 2D or using Chromadepth Glasses in 3D.
An unnamed man peacefully sips cocktails at a nightclub. Simultaneously, an identical, unnamed man paints a self-portrait in an abandoned cabin in the middle of a field.
A painter with artist's block is sent on a disorienting journey after a mysterious painting appears in his home.
In Flesh Flows we see a balance of Beckett’s keen drawing ability, in the probing erotic forms, and his technical acuity, which transforms the carnal images into a compelling, transcendent experience. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in partnership with iotaCenter and National Film Preservation Foundation in 2007.
The story of Adam and Eve with jazzy music. Short experimental animation without words.
A hand moves gently, its presence shifts continuously.
A girl sitting on an autumn leaf-filled sidewalk communicates with a mysterious figure across the street.
A vibrant animation by Patricia Marx. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2000.
An abstract computer-generated film. The image is of squares revolving in space around and through each other. Colors and forms multiply and divide against a beautiful symphonic score by George Kleinsinger.
Enigma is something of a more glamorous version of White Hole, with a wide variety of elaborate textures (often composed of iconographic and religious symbols) converging towards the centre of the screen.
A trip towards abstraction, as an hypothesis on how mountains might have been formed.
Sixteen 'objects', each consisting of one hundred points of light, perform a series of precisely choreographed rhythmic transformations. Accompanied by the sound of a Shakuhachi (the Japanese bamboo flute), the film is an exercise in the visual perception of motion and mathematical structure.
Torn from their home by a hand in the sky, colorful entities seek freedom from a rigid binary in this short experimental animation.
Repetition and distortion drive this audiovisual collaboration between composer Lux Prima and visual artist Max Hattler, where fuzzy analogue music and geometric digital animation collide in an electronic feedback loop, spawning arrays of divisional articulations in time and space.
The screen is divided again and again until the picture arranged in ever changing strips bursts into whirring dynamic.
A visceral journey through dysphoria in the internet age.
He needs to be helped out.
A mathematical play on one repeated movement. It imparts a sense of possibilities: that something simple can produce complex and unexpected patterns. As with an atom, the variety of possibilities from a base movement is potentially infinite.
This is a didactic film in disguise. A progression of brilliant geometric shapes bombard the screen to the insistent beat of drums. The filmmaker programmed a computer to coordinate a highly complex operation involving an electronic beam of light, colour filters and a camera. This animation film, without words, is designed to expose the power of the cinematic medium, and to illustrate the abstract nature of time.
In this animated short, simple geometric forms as thin and flat as playing cards constantly form and re-form to the sound of the koto, a 13-stringed Japanese instrument.
