Close Up
Animation is arguably the liveliest form of cinematic narrative to date. An independent genre wrought of a long tradition in dedicated and passionate handiwork that has only recently been superseded by digital tricks. Almost anything can be animated: a pencil, wax, dolls, washing powder, wool, spray cans, wire, sand, paper, oil paint on glass and not forgetting, the film itself.
