The Lumber's Here

About This Movie

The Lumber's Here is a fascinating take on Kazimir Malevich's poem, exploring its surreal and fragmented essence through animation. The use of cut-out and rotoscope techniques creates a visually striking atmosphere that feels both dreamlike and disorienting. It’s not just about pretty visuals; there’s a real sense of how the poem's illogical structure translates into movement, making you question the very nature of narrative. The pacing is unique, sometimes abrupt, which adds to that feeling of being in a surreal dreamscape. It’s a short, but it lingers, and there’s something to appreciate in how it encapsulates the experimental spirit of Malevich’s work.

Short runtime but impactful.Great example of experimental animation.Interesting homage to a lesser-known poet.
