About This Movie

Relative (2014) is an intriguing exploration of perception and time. The film, with its unique animation style, fuses the mundane view from a train window with a hypnotic reverse motion of a car tire, creating this surreal, almost dreamlike atmosphere. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative, inviting viewers to soak in the visual experience rather than rushing through it. The juxtaposition of forward movement against backward motion raises questions about direction and purpose, all while maintaining an eerie stillness. It's a distinctive piece—definitely not conventional animation—offering a fresh take on how we perceive motion and narrative. The simplicity of the concept, yet the depth of what it implies, makes it a curious watch for anyone interested in experimental animation.
