Our Selves Unknown

About This Movie

‘Our Selves Unknown’ is a really intriguing piece that reinterprets ‘Landscape in Distress’ through animation. Edwin Rostron uses a combination of pencil and ink drawings to reshape the book's visuals, employing a unique process filled with restrictions and spontaneity. It’s fascinating how the atmosphere shifts throughout; it feels both personal and abstract. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing you to absorb the details in each frame. The themes of identity and perception are woven throughout, giving it depth. The practical effects give it a textured feel, almost like you're flipping through an art book. There’s something about its distinctive approach that lingers long after viewing.
