What Is Nothing (After What Is Nothing)

About This Movie

So, 'What Is Nothing (After What Is Nothing)' is a curious piece. It really plays with the idea of nothingness, which you don't see explored often, especially in animation. The director, who remains anonymous, utilizes a mix of found educational footage and some fascinating laser animation techniques. There's this layered approach, using nine projectors to create a vivid landscape of void and vulnerability. The pacing is quite contemplative, letting you sit with the concept of emptiness—it’s almost meditative. The atmosphere feels heavy at times, yet there’s beauty in its exploration of those touched by existential dread. It's not just about visuals, it really gets into the psyche; pretty distinctive for an animated work, for sure.
