Project Detail

Zobeide

Synopsis

A collaboration between animator and musician. The starting point was a conversation between the two about “Zobeide”, a chapter from “Invisible Cities” by Italo Calvino. Sound and animation were made separately based on their creators individual responses to the literature, resulting in two narratives which merge to tell a third.

A still from the film depicting a dancer being shadow projected Adage

Director: Jack Barrett

Year: 2025

Adage is a ballet term which refers to a slow and graceful sequence of movements - in this film artist/ filmmaker Jack Barrett seeks to juxtapose this with disorientating abstraction caused by process and editing. Barrett utilises risograph, mono-print, shadow projection and manual point tracking to create varying levels of abstraction, in turn playing with our associated perception of movement.
