Films : Withdrawal : all
animate! synopsis
A home movie on permanent loop. Live action up for grabs. A family walk the walk across a field, disappearing into memory as they do. Who knows where the families go?
short synopsis
In the countryside, on a sunny day a family group repeatedly walk towards the camera. The ‘home-movie’ is looped and the footage is digitally manipulated so that each time they pass, the family members steadily disappear, the landscape also appearing to ‘withdraw‘.
