Avalon

About This Movie

Avalon (2005) is a fascinating piece of animation that serves as a showcase for Bill Etra’s intriguing digital video synthesizer, dubbed 'The New Machine.' The film is essentially a visual experiment, with the real-time animation flowing seamlessly to Django Reinhardt’s stirring 'Avalon.' The atmosphere here feels almost dreamlike, as the colors and forms shift and pulsate in sync with the music. It's less about a story and more about a mood, capturing an essence of exploration. The pacing is fluid, almost hypnotic—perfect for those who appreciate the artistic side of animation. What strikes me is how it blurs the lines between technology and art, making it distinct in a landscape often dominated by narrative-driven content.
