Fishbowl

About This Movie

Fishbowl is an intriguing animation that came out of a collaboration with Gabrielle Ledet, which ties into the Basquiat exposition at the Barbican. It's got this dreamlike quality, mixing surreal imagery with sound that feels almost hypnotic. The pacing's a bit unconventional; it breathes slowly, allowing the viewer to fully absorb the visuals and themes surrounding identity and creativity. There's a distinct atmosphere that lingers, echoing the cultural nuances reminiscent of Basquiat's work. Even though the director isn’t widely known, the short runs deep with expressive moments that capture a certain rawness—like a snapshot of thoughts in fluid motion. It’s nice to see something outside the mainstream that still carries a weighty message.
