Untitled 1 (No. Nothing.)

About This Movie

So, there's this unique piece called Untitled 1 (No. Nothing.) from 2020. It's not your typical animation or doc—you can feel the experimental vibe right from the start. The collaboration between Casey Reas and Jan St. Werner is pretty fascinating, as they draw from Cindy Sherman’s Untitled Film Stills and Stan Brakhage's camera-less films. The visuals are almost a dreamscape, contrasting with the audio that’s both engaging and abstract, creating a really distinctive atmosphere. Pacing is a bit unconventional, which may throw off some but there’s something to be said for that. It’s this blend of art and sentiment that makes it stand out in the animation realm, quite the conversation starter.
