The Fourth Wall
Animated short film
Mahboobeh KALAEE[Iran]
An experimental short animation set in a “kitchen” that creatively reconfigures the relationship between home, as a space for living, and family. The characters in this film are a mother merged with a washing machine, a father merged with a refrigerator, a newborn baby, and a stuttering boy himself. The story of the family, which unfolds in the confined space of the kitchen, is told from the boy’s point of view. The unique method of expression, which combines two-dimensionally-depicted kitchen equipment and a live-action washing machine, refrigerator, etc., with animation techniques such as stop motion and 2D animations, is created through a three-part process: first, designing and placing the elements that are animated in the scene, then, filming these elements while moving the camera, and lastly, painting on the captured film. The fusion allows the boundaries of techniques to be merged and leads to an image with uniform properties. A quickly-evolving story, depicted through free-flowing camerawork, gives viewers a feeling of being in the scene, allowing them to stand on a blurry line between the real and the imaginary.
