Gymnasia

Dir. Chris Lavis, Maciek Szczerbowski, 2019, 6min
10+

Gymnasia is an exploration of memory and the impossibility of returning to one’s past except through dreams. In a decayed and abandoned school gymnasium—haunted by the ghosts of its history— are stirring memories of a lost childhood. Through virtual reality stop motion animation, puppets, and miniatures, Gymnasia envelops you in an eerily familiar waking dream. It will lead you back into a secret space in your memory, back to your childhood gymnasium.

Join directors Lavis and Szczerbowski for an in-depth look into their animation process.
