Circles

About This Movie

Circles from 1933 is quite a remarkable find, especially considering its age and the techniques used. This animated short stands out not just for its vibrant colors—thanks to the Gaspar Color process—but also for its dreamy, almost hypnotic quality. The pacing feels leisurely, allowing the visual artistry to take center stage, which is somewhat rare for the time. The lack of a known director adds to its mystique; it’s like a piece of lost history that allows the viewer to ponder the creative minds behind it. Themes of transformation and abstraction permeate the film, inviting interpretations that linger long after watching.

Circles is quite limited in terms of availability, with its early color animation making it a treasure for collectors. It's often found in obscure collections or as part of compilations of early animation. Interest in this film tends to be more niche, attracting those with a penchant for animation history and early cinema techniques. Just keep an eye out, as it’s not something that pops up too often at auctions.
