Zikkaron

19715 min 27 secFilm: Animation, Experimental

Direction: Laurent Coderre

An allegory on film, depicting the cycle of man's life in his universe. Painstaking cut-out animation achieves the effect of a gilded tapestry where images appear in continuous transformation--fleeting, illusory, flowing into one another, reflecting the ephemeral quality of life. Film without words.
