LOOKING
A young pregnant girl goes to visit an
elderly inventor, who lives alone in an
old house. All his life, the man has been
searching for something and now that his
time is almost up he has built an object for
the child who will soon be born, in hopes
that the child will continue the search.

“We used a film technique that is usually
used for clay animation: the sounds and
the images are recorded separately and the
film is shot and edited frame by frame.”
