PREMISE

Connection Check highlights that the cinema only comes to life with an audience. It explores the path of audiovisual information: from the qualities of the moving image, to the proceses occuring in the vievers mind.

In order to highlight that the IFFR shorts programme is a celebration of film in all it’s forms, each of the five segments is shot in a different technique.

1. Animation exposed, then painted on 35mm film

2. Stopmotion paper “collage” animation

3. Stop motion animation shot with a flatbed scanner

4. Digital video footage with practical effects

5. 3D rendered animation
