Animated Cotton
Watch TrailerIt might not take you long to cotton on to the trick of this film, but the results are still impressive. Though the various strings, wools and embroideries if this film are certainly animated in one sense, it is not through stop-motion animation. The time-consuming process of manipulating threads frame-by-frame is avoided by simply using reverse film techniques.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a visual poem from basic textiles, relying entirely on the reverse-film technique to generate its mesmerizing motion. It explores the illusion of life bestowed upon inanimate matter through cinematic cleverness rather than frame-by-frame labor.
What lingers after viewing is a sense of quiet wonder at the simple, elegant trickery that transforms thread into hypnotic dance. — MovieFinder Editorial
