Muybridge

About This Movie

So, 'Muybridge' is this fascinating animated short that really captures the spirit of its time. Presented at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival in '91, it’s a student project from GOBELINS. The animation style is pretty unique, blending classic techniques with a surreal touch that's hard to shake off. The pacing is brisk, almost frenetic at times, which suits the thematic exploration of movement and time – you know, like Eadweard Muybridge’s original studies. There’s a certain charm in the rawness of student work, and while the director isn’t known, the collective creativity shines through. It’s one of those pieces you won’t forget easily once you’ve seen it, even if it’s just a short ride.
