Conversations With a Whale is a stop-motion animated quick movie made by Anna Samo (now often known as Anne Bergmann) – it is a self-referential meta story about an artist’s demons coping with rejection, together with printed out variations of her personal rejection letters from movie festivals. On this love letter to artists, their artwork, and its viewers, a filmmaker’s fixed rejections surprisingly bear fruit. “Anna Samo, or her animated alter ego in Conversations With A Whale, has an enthralling look that evokes recollections of ‘The Little Prince‘: the crown, the cape, important questions surrounding one’s personal existence and a wee plant that’s taken care of with a lot of love are there.” That is superbly animated and uplifting, placing a constructive spin on unhealthy information. I used to be anticipating extra voiceover, but it surely’s fairly highly effective as a silent movie.
