The Archive Of The Movements Of Inanimate Objects
“…Brilliant! I greatly enjoyed The Archive. A lot of shorts (and longs) seem to have no message or moral purpose but this film absolutely does. It is a really strong statement not only against cruelty to things we don’t understand, but also about the perversity of technology and the capriciousness of man, or the man/beast which we are. This is really fine, thought-provoking work – beautifully realized and deeply disturbing.”
Alex Cox
“If mind, as ancient sages taught, a never dying flame;
still shifts through matter’s varying forms, in every form the same;
Beware, lest in the worm you crush, a brother’s soul you find;
and tremble lest thy luckless hand dislodge a kindred mind.”
from The Mouse’s Petition, 1773, Anna Laetitia Barbauld
