The Physics of Sorrow / Fizyka smutku / The Physics of Sorrow
Description:
Sometimes, the Apocalypse is a strictly personal affair… We are all immigrants, even if the only country we’ve left behind is childhood, abandoning it along with our collections of chewing-gum wrappers, toy cars, games, and pecks on the cheek. The Physics of Sorrow is the first fully animated film created using encaustic painting, a technique developed in antiquity. The film is inspired by Bulgarian author Georgi Gospodinov’s novel The Physics of Sorrow and narrated by Rossif Sutherland.

Dont know what combines elements of entertainment cinema, like a joke-orientated dramaturgy or slapstick-like effects with well-known strategies of traditional avant-garde cinema, such as formal and aesthetic reduction of the visual language, flickerfilm and sound experiments.
