Now That I've Lost My Buffalo, I Don't Know Who To Grind

About This Movie

Now That I've Lost My Buffalo, I Don't Know Who To Grind is a fascinating exploration of form and fragmentation in animation. The collaboration of Diane Christiansen, Jessie Mott, and Alejandra Trigoso yields a unique visual language that feels both chaotic and deliberate. It’s like watching a dream unfold, where bodies and creatures dance in and out of existence, creating a sense of flux and instability. The pacing is deliberately disjointed, echoing the emotional currents of losing something vital. The cut-out technique gives a palpable texture to the visuals, almost like a paper theater that's alive. The atmosphere feels charged, almost electric, inviting viewers to ponder identity and transformation in a world that's constantly shifting. It's distinctive in its rawness, and the way it plays with presence and absence is captivating.
