Don’t Know What

Form Animation – Narrative Country Austria Year 2019 Running Time 8min Language English Director Thomas Renoldner Producer Thomas Renoldner Key Cast Thomas Renoldner Animation Thomas Renoldner Music Thomas Renoldner This delicate and hypnotic film is created from an original six-panel, 4½ metre long watercolour painting. Split into 1,670 different frames, the images are woven into an ocean of calm. A story of a tiny eel becoming more than it’s origins, the animation ebbs and flows into the mystical. Breathing, speaking and blinking are the raw ingredients with which Thomas Renoldner subverts the language of filmmaking. No surprise then that this witty and irreverent film has been picking up prizes everywhere, including at the Ottawa Animation Film Festival and an Off Limits award at Annecy.
