A stunning short by Ireland-born, Vancouver-based animator Eoin Duffy. Well known for blending clean and colourful graphics with dark and complex themes, Duffy’s latest features a mystical traveller in search of the answers to life’s biggest questions, who finds himself in the most unlikely place. If that sounds a bit vague, that’s probably for the best! As Duffy shared with us, it’s “Better to go in blind”:
“Weirdly I struggle to talk about the film out of fear of guiding the viewer’s interpretation. The film has a very specific meaning to me, but I delight in hearing other people’s take away. At each screening I was in awe at the sheer array of break downs, most vastly different from my original intention. So I simply stopped talking about the film, and let others make of it what they will.”
