An arrestingly beautiful stop-motion animated short by Soetkin Verstegen. Freeze Frame is a captivating example of meticulous craft and disquieting, harmonious textures of picture and sound.
From the artist: “Freeze frame: the most absurd technique since the invention of the moving image. Through an elaborate process of duplicating the same image over and over again, it creates the illusion of stillness. Identical figures perform the hopeless task of preserving blocks of ice. The repetitive movements reanimate the animals captured inside.”
Director, writer, animator: Soetkin Verstegen
Sound: Andrea Martignoni & Michal Krajczok
