Adrift
Original title Adrift
Type Shorts
Genre Experimental, Animation
Director Inger Lise Hansen
Short summary "Adrift" is shot on the arctic island of Spitzbergen and in Norway. It combines time-lapse photography with stop-motion animation of the landscape. Through camera-angles and framing the film gradually dislocates the viewer from a stable base where one looses the sense of scale and grounding.
"Adrift" takes perception itself as the subject of its journey.
