Because the Sky Is Blue

About This Movie

Because the Sky Is Blue offers a unique perspective on the intersection of past and present through animation. The film draws a neat parallel between Muybridge's historic horse gallop and our current obsession with short video clips. It’s visually striking, utilizing cyanotype techniques to reprint those frames, giving them a tactile quality that feels almost nostalgic. The pacing feels meditative, allowing you to linger on each frame and appreciate the craftsmanship. The themes explore time, memory, and the fleeting nature of modern media. There's a certain charm in its simplicity, and it’s fascinating to consider what Muybridge would capture today through this artistic lens. It’s not just animation; it feels like a thoughtful dialogue with history.
