Learning on ScreenSymmetry
- Synopsis
- Philip Stapp was one of the greatest animators working in the 1950-1975 era, using stylized, often pointillist abstract imagery, in a floating world sometimes surrealist, at other times reminiscent of Japanese "ukiyo-e" illustration. This film on symmetry is a fantasy of dancing images breaking apart, spinning, and converging. (10 minutes)
