Films : Kingdom Protista : all

animate! synopsis

Life on Earth was never like this. Pond life with attitude gets it on in a digital debauch. New forms, same old problems. Orifice politics, you could say.

short synopsis

A few drops of pond water rich in bottom sediments, seen under a microscope can quickly confirm the existence of another world. In dimensions that fall between those of bacteria and the smallest of animals there exists a realm of life so diverse that you have to sit and wonder. This is the Kingdom of Protista and like all living things it needs to suck itself off.
