Die Konferenz oder die Rückseite des Mondes

About This Movie

Die Konferenz oder die Rückseite des Mondes is quite a unique piece. It blends animation with a surreal narrative that revolves around these handbrushes, which—post factory collapse—have somehow developed beaks. The idea of obsolescence is fascinatingly tied to our relentless pursuit of progress, and then they throw the moon into the mix. The pacing is a bit contemplative, allowing you to really soak in the visuals, which are quite striking in their handcrafted quality. The atmosphere can feel a bit eerie at times, almost dreamlike, as you navigate through this odd conference. It's not your typical animated fare, and that’s where its charm lies. Quite the conversation starter, really.
