The Nature of the River

SYNOPSIS

SINOPSE

Natura Rzeki explores the similarities between a woman's mental states and the life cycles of a river. It's a film about humanity's relationship with nature, its wise cyclicality, the instinctiveness and wildness that each of us carries within. We are part of Pure Wild Nature. The film is made using under-camera animation using ground coffee on a multi-plane, consisting of two transparent backgrounds and one milky one. Some shots were animated on three planes simultaneously, with the addition of color materials.
