The Town of Forgotten Things

About This Movie

The Town of Forgotten Things is this intriguing piece that pulls you into its unique world. It’s an animated exploration where a lone blackbird kind of acts as a caretaker for all the things that have slipped through the cracks of memory. The film is just one 17-minute-long story, told in a single drawing, which feels really distinctive—almost meditative. The pacing is leisurely, allowing you to absorb the atmosphere fully. It’s experimental in nature, kind of a visual poem that invites audiences of all ages to interpret its themes of memory and loss. The animation feels imagined, giving it a dreamlike quality that lingers long after the credits roll. Definitely gives off a vibe that’s hard to categorize.
