Tourist

About This Movie

Tourist is an intriguing piece from Barbara Hammer that takes you on a rather disorienting journey through Europe. The animation style is fluid yet jarring, playing with the rhythm of the visuals to create a sense of unease. It's like you're seeing these well-known places but with an uncanny twist. The pacing feels syncopated, almost musical, which adds to that feeling of anxiety you get as you watch. Themes of travel and perception are at the forefront, making you question what you see and how you feel about it. It's distinctive, really, how it uses animation to manipulate familiar sights into something that feels so foreign. Definitely not your typical travelogue.
