Potter's Mirror

Best Short Animation Katherine O'Connor United Kingdom, Animation, Drama, Uncanny, Surreal, Stop Motion, 00:08:36

Based on the themes of loss and grief through dementia, Potter's Mirror symbolically represents the internal structures of the mind. We follow the daily activities of the Watchman as he tends to his memories and nurtures new emerging ideas. All is well until a deterioration of the environment forces him to escape through the window.
