The Circus

In the vestibule of a hospital room, a young boy waits to see his dying mother. The clamour and spiralling movements of bodies around him intensify, forming a grotesque circus – a cacophonous circle that pushes the child back, depriving him of one final touch of his mother’s hand. The author made this deeply personal film using an unusual combination of techniques – rotoscoping, object animation and 3D computer animation. (Anifilm)
