### a film by Samantha Moore

### animate! synopsis

Sam’s film is about her own attempt to impose order upon chaos in the context of recently becoming a mother of multiples (twin boys).

Acknowledging Mary Kelly’s [Post-Partum Document](http://www.gfound.or.at/C1256D2B002F8F0A/GOTO/KELLY_ENGLISCH) , the work uses diagrams, layers and multiple perspectives to process chaotic information into a recognisable and functional structure. Sound by Prix Italia-winning [Adam Goddard](http://www.magazine.utoronto.ca/01summer/f03.htm) , Toronto.
