OPUS MAGNUM

A stream of consciousness meditation on the artistic process, “Opus Magnum” invites the viewer to experience a journey of self-reflection. The animator turns his pencil towards himself, bringing to life his innermost doubts in a free flowing and ironic collage of expression. Through an inventive interplay of language and visuals, the image of an artist as a graceful hero is done away with. A curious film, driven by humor, intimacy and a steady drum beat.
