Seepage

About This Movie

Seepage is this intriguing blend of animation and existential dread, set in a future where art isn't just seen but lived. The characters, Marlborough and The Arab, inhabit a surreal world filled with the relentless noise of ringing phones and the omnipresent hum of televisions, all while smog seems to infiltrate their very thoughts. It's got this haunting quality, the pacing is deliberate, almost dreamlike, allowing the atmosphere to seep in like the very smog that clouds their minds. The practical effects create a tactile depth, blending the animated with the real in ways that feel both unsettling and beautiful. It's a curious piece for anyone drawn to the more avant-garde aspects of animation, and the preservation by the Academy Film Archive adds a layer of significance too.
