Watch: Lauren Tsai's Haunting 'The Dying World' Animated Short Film

"It waits to be remembered..." An acclaimed animated short film is now available online to watch - with an extensive backstory published on Indiewire. After playing across many film festivals the last year, American filmmaker / model / actress / artist Lauren Tsai's short film The Dying World is now available to watch on YT. It's only 5 mins and is made with puppets / stop-motion and some 3D animation. Astrid and her only friend Crow sit waiting in a world of all that is forgotten. There's more to the story and how it connects with her own experiences & memories. A better intro: "Astrid lives torn between two worlds: a boundless, sterile office and a desolate blue realm composed of trash she struggles to recollect. When she finds a door to her childhood bedroom, she feeds what’s left of it to her only friend, Crow, who wonders how much longer she can live in these fragmented realities." The visuals in it are distinct & captivating - it's one of the rare times I wish a short film was longer because I want to see more of this world. But it still leaves a lasting impression. And an official poster from her exhibition at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery - photos from the event here. Thanks to Indiewire for the tip […]
