Project Detail

The Dance of the Toxic Frogspawn

Synopsis

A radioactive object sets off a novel unreeling of events amongst some pond life. A unique marriage of sound and vision this idiosyncratic film presents its imagery in the manner of a musical arrangement with cyclical visual devices that repeat and distort.

The irregular sequence of events is both dark and vibrant within a film that is at once experimental and accessible.
