### animate! synopsis

‘Found’ images from magazines to movie clips are cut up, manipulated and reconstructed to create unexpected and gripping story strands that fuse into a multi-layered film – beginning as a passionate love story but ending in murder as a dark psychological thriller.

16mm ‘in camera’ reconstructions of photo cut-outs and real objects in miniature 3D environments.
