The Shirley Temple (2013)

Grad film

Directed by Daniela Sherer

Synopsis
The boundaries between childhood and adulthood become blurry for a kid at his mother’s cocktail party. In this experimental-narrative short, characters, symbols and abstractions interchange to examine the relationships between children and adults, escapism and sexuality.
Director's Statement
I think animation is all about movement and timing. I like to manipulate the drawings in my films to such a degree that they become completely abstract moving shapes. I use those abstract elements, characters and the energy of the overall animated movement to tell stories.
