Black

Black is a visceral expression of the issue of black market vaccines, that have become a dangerous health issue as they spread through Chinese society. Leaving no room for nuance, where arguably none is needed, the strobing effect of it’s repetitive imagery is a direct assault on the senses. There’s a good reason this film is showing at so many festivals this year. It’s a wonderful watery dance of movement and music, rippling with rhythm and colour. This playful and invigorating burst of joy can also be seen online, as part of our experimental animation strand: Depth Perceptions.
