About This Movie

So, 'landing' is this intriguing piece that really plays with the idea of stillness amidst chaos. Shot in B&W 16mm, you get this raw, tactile feel, right? The hand-coloring adds this organic layer that makes each frame almost a painting. The sound design is a mix of found sounds that pull you into the atmosphere of Bate Island. It's not really about a plot but more about those fleeting moments when you just settle down—kind of like a meditation on pause. The pacing's gentle, almost dreamlike, giving you time to absorb each visual and soundscape. It’s distinctive for its blending of animation and documentary, creating a really immersive experience.
