Vespertilio Spillover

About This Movie

Vespertilio Spillover is an intriguing blend of animation and historical narrative. The film takes inspiration from a woodcut in Athanasius Kircher’s work, where it juxtaposes early depictions of bat-like creatures with contemporary issues like the Covid-19 pandemic. The pacing feels contemplative, almost meditative, as it shifts between Kircher’s world and our current reality. The use of practical effects in this animation gives it a unique texture, almost like you're watching something that exists just beyond the page. There's a distinct atmosphere that lingers—thought-provoking and slightly eerie. It’s not just about the horror of spillover but also a reflection on human interaction with nature. Definitely a piece that sparks conversation among collectors.
