In Person Learning

About This Movie

In Person Learning is an interesting exploration of the challenges faced by students during the pandemic. Emmis, our middle school protagonist, navigates her anxieties about returning to a high school environment that feels foreign after a year of isolation. The animation style is charming but it’s the emotional realism that stands out; the characters feel authentic. Pacing is deliberate, allowing moments of introspection – you really get a sense of Emmis’s inner turmoil. The themes of resilience and adaptation resonate deeply, reflecting what many have experienced. While the director remains unknown, the film captures the zeitgeist of a generation feeling out of sync with the world. A quiet but poignant reflection on coming-of-age in unusual times.
