Blackening Skies

Overview

Carried by a pleasantly laid-back jazzy score, these seven minutes of animation offer a joyful journey through an elegantly black-and-white world of forms oscillating between figuration and abstraction.

And coming back again and again is the moon, with clouds gliding by. (tr)
