Sur. Faces is an intriguing exploration of urban life through the eyes of students from the SHAR school. The director remains unknown, which adds a layer of mystery, but the film’s collective spirit shines through. The animation is raw, with a hand-crafted aesthetic that feels intimate and personal. Students roamed Moscow, capturing fleeting moments and emotions, then translated those experiences into fluid movements on celluloid. There’s a certain spontaneity to the scenes – you can sense the energy of a summer spent observing life, a mix of chaos and beauty. The pacing has an almost dreamlike quality, allowing the viewer to savor each sketched moment. It’s not your typical animated feature; it’s more a vignette of life, a gathering of impressions rather than a linear story.
Collective student work, unique hand-drawn animation.Captures the essence of urban Moscow in summer.Exploratory and spontaneous; not a traditional narrative.
