Three by Three

About This Movie

Three by Three is something of an experience, really. It’s an animated piece, but it’s more than just that – it’s a vibrant collage of folk art that dances across the screen. The pacing feels organic, almost like a living mural coming to life, with each frame inviting you into a different world. Themes of community and tradition are woven in subtly, but it’s the practical effects that catch the eye – you can almost feel the texture of the materials used. There’s a certain charm in the imperfections, and while the director is a mystery, the work speaks volumes. It’s distinctive in its approach, embracing a kind of visual storytelling that’s rare to find these days.

Three by Three is a bit of an oddity in the animation world. Released in 1965, it’s often overlooked, but that makes it a fascinating find for collectors. The scarcity of quality prints and its unknown director adds to the intrigue. Formats like VHS and DVD have circulated, but original reels are quite rare, so if you stumble upon one, it’s worth holding onto—there’s a growing interest in these lesser-known artistic experiments.
