Chair

About This Movie

So, 'Chair' is this really fascinating 16mm short that’s all hand-drawn. It’s got this surreal, almost existential vibe to it. The animation is done using crow quill ink, which gives it this incredibly textured look that you just don’t see in digital work today. The pacing is almost meditative, following this lone figure trying to sit in a chair in this vast, empty void. It’s like a commentary on struggle and purpose—or maybe just the absurdity of life. The atmosphere is heavy, yet there’s a beauty in its simplicity. And, you know, it’s been showcased at places like SXSW and Anima Mundi, which gives it a bit of a pedigree in the indie circuit. Definitely distinctive.
