Sea child - Graduation Film - Manchester Animation Festival


Utterly beautiful. This animation was unique in its style, created from what looks like the media of charcoal and inks it captures you in this unfluid, imperfect state of beauty. If the animation was fluid, then it would not of been as effective, I loved how jittery it was it adds value to the narrative itself, which pronounces the imperfect patriarchal society that we live in. There are heavy connotations of blood, reflective of the protagonist young girl coming of age, finally becoming a women. But what does it mean to be a woman in a patriarchal society ? As she discovers her mother exploiting her body to men in a night club, and receives countless perverted comments from older males herself.
