Olivia & the Clouds + recorded introduction from Director Tomás Pichardo Espaillat (15)

Animation In Love

Image of a woman's face

A surreal exploration of the complexities of love, told in a dizzying array of animation styles.

The stories of two couples intertwine in this wildly creative and visually dazzling marvel from the Dominican Republic. 

Using a kaleidoscopic variety of animation styles and techniques – from painting to stop-motion to photomontage – director Tomás Pichardo Espaillat offers up a romantic Rashomon, fragmenting the very form of the film itself in its emotionally-charged exploration of the very personal experiences of love, loss and memory.
