About This Movie

R|W is a curious piece that really plays with the idea of simplicity in animation. The whole concept revolves around this giant chimney, shot in 8mm film, which gives it a grainy texture that feels nostalgic and raw. The director – whose identity remains a mystery – invites viewers to explore different angles and movements, creating a rhythmic flow that’s almost meditative. The red and white hues of the chimney are striking, and they evoke a sense of industrial beauty. The pacing is experimental, sometimes lingering on the chimney more than you'd expect, but there's something captivating about that. It’s a film that challenges perceptions of what animation can be, and its practical effects lend a tactile, almost intimate quality to the viewing experience.
