In nuce: As part of our weekly recurring series “Animago Afternoon”, we present pearls, treasures and other gems from last year’s Animago film festivals at the best time of the afternoon. This time we are showing you the time travel short film “A Single Life”, realised by Job, Joris & Marieke, salvaged from the Animago archives in 2015. The short film was nominated for an Oscar at the time and was pulled out of the pipeline using Cinema 4D. This convinced the Animago jurors, as the quirky and beautiful short film from the Netherlands was nominated for a trophy in the “Special Jury Prize” category.
What is “A Single Life” about? Protagonist Pia controls a record that allows her to travel through time. Simply change the position of the needle on the record player and Pia is already travelling back and forth in time. The three founders of Job, Joris & Marieke – Job Roggeveen, Joris Oprins and Marieke Blaauw – met while studying at the Design Academy in Eindhoven. In 2007, they founded their studio, which produces unconventional projects with a distinctive look.
