About This Movie

Beginning (2014) is an intriguing short animation that emerged for the Culture City of East Asia event in Yokohama. Its tone is quite experimental, blending vibrant visuals with a somewhat introspective atmosphere. The pacing is deliberate, allowing each scene to breathe and invite reflection. There’s a distinct playfulness combined with a hint of philosophical exploration that makes it stand out. While the director remains unknown, the practical effects used create a tactile quality that’s rare in contemporary animation. The performances, though non-verbal, convey a surprising depth. It’s the kind of piece that lingers with you, prompting thoughts long after it's over, which is pretty unique for a short.
