It took animator/filmmaker Piotr Kamler nearly half a decade to make this fantastic animated 3-D sci-fi film that is set in a futuristic city inhabited by powerful immortals who are utterly bored with the idea of eternity and so begin playing with time. They anxiously await the birth of the Moment of Happiness that is supposed to free and revive them. But this can only happen if a human being appears near Chronopolis.
Get to watch this masterwork of cosmic stop-motion animation at this year’s edition of Cozzzmonautica, with a live rescoring by waka_x.
waka_x is half of makunouchi bento and a devoted dreamer bound by the magic of cinema.
The Makunouchi Bento, or traditional japanese lunchbox, is a highly lacquered wooden box divided into quadrants, each of which contains different delicacies. It is also one of the most familiar images of Japan’s domestic environment.
Reading the box as both an object and a metaphor, Felix Petrescu (Waka X) and Valentin Toma (Toma Carnagiu, fka Qewza) founded this cinematic / experimental / electroacoustic project back in late 2000.
