Synopsis

*Animation* explores the theme of weightlessness, portraying objects and characters freed from conventional meanings, tensions, and gravitational constraints. Accompanied by a lyrical track by Eric Satie, the film offers a vision that serves as a reminder of the possibility of equilibrium and harmony, suggesting that one need not dissolve into chaos by embracing them. A horseman rides through a landscape and a town, yet reaches no specific destination. An acrobat swings on a rope above a canal in Venice, content simply to remain in motion. Nothing disrupts their tranquil state. The film stands in stark contrast to the Kafkaesque oddities often found in Eastern European animation. —Canyon Cinema

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 1

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
