Animating Reality

Exile Room flips documentary on its head by handpicking 10 short non-fiction films that challenge reality: stop-motion, claymation, flash, sketch, hand-painted watercolor, multimedia collage, manipulated archive footage and rotoscoping will march in front of your very eyes, throwing a veil of enchantment over reality… Awarded in festivals the world over, they are solid proof that sometimes reality needs a layer of abstraction in order to reveal its innermost truth.
