Palimpsest is a fascinating short that captures the essence of a singular space morphing through time. It’s not just animation; it’s a blend of methodologies—time-lapse, real-time, stop-frame—and the result feels like a living painting. The way the house evolves, reflecting the changing lives within its walls, sets a tone that’s both haunting and poignant. You can feel the weight of history, the silence between moments of life. The pacing is swift yet deliberate, forcing you to absorb the transitions that are almost poetic. It’s one of those films that lingers in your mind long after it's over, making you think about the stories hidden in the walls of your own home.
