Across the Field

About This Movie

Across the Field is a fascinating piece of animation from Kucia. It’s quite lengthy for an animated film, but the complexity of the imagery really stands out. You can see Kucia experimenting with a mix of techniques, blending hand-drawn elements with photographic images and even snippets of live-action. The pacing is an interesting ride; it feels almost dreamlike, with a tone that can be both light and heavy at times. It tackles themes of memory and perception in an intriguing way, sort of asking viewers to question what they see. The practical effects used give it an organic feel, something that’s becoming rare in animation today. It’s definitely a distinct work that showcases Kucia’s evolution as a filmmaker.
