2005, 7 min 43 sec

### animate! synopsis

A fugitive escape path across five interlinked spaces. The artist’s interventions in the live-action journey suggest an evolving relationship between an unseen protagonist and his surroundings as we are propelled from overcrowded urban vistas towards isolation in wide open space.

### one sentence synopsis

A fugitive escape path of drawn interventions over a live-action journey.

### short synopsis

A fugitive escape path across five interlinked spaces: city, motorway, forest, coast and sea, using pen and ink drawn interventions into a live-action journey.

### long synopsis

A fugitive escape path across five interlinked spaces. **Flight** becomes a subjective physical exit journey with multiple possible psychological readings where we are propelled from overcrowded urban vistas towards isolation in wide-open space.

The artist’s pen and ink drawn interventions into the live-action journey are ambiguous gestures that suggest an evolving relationship between an unseen protagonist and his surroundings. The multi-layered soundtrack fusing location sounds and orchestration adds to the complexities of the film’s reading.
