Anniversary

About This Movie

So, 'Anniversary' from 1989 is this interesting little gem. It's a short film from the National Film Board of Canada, celebrating their 50th birthday, and it's all done in computer animation. You can really see the era's early approach to CGI, which has this unique charm and almost a quaintness to it. The pacing is pretty brisk, which keeps it engaging, but you can tell they’re really trying to pack in themes about the history of film and the evolution of animation. It’s not just about the visuals; there’s a nice atmosphere that pays homage to the past while looking forward. The whole piece feels like a love letter to the medium, and it’s fascinating to see how they captured that sentiment with the technology of the time.
