This film brings together our interest in small details and the big questions we all think about. Drawing on Emily’s experience in traditional animation and Kaija’s background in editing and sound design, we crafted a visual response to a recorded phone conversation between Kaija and her aunt, Hansu. Playing off the rhythms of Hansu’s cadences, the resulting imagery oscillates between the minutiae of the real and the abstract. This portrait reveals her humor, reflective intelligence and contagious curiosity for life.
