How it feels

This is a short film from Denmark. It tells a classic story about good and evil through movement. The meaning comes from the motion of images rather than words.

What happens

Black and White City er en kortfilm fra 1993 instrueret af Trine Vester. Form-atelieret/Værksted for Grundmagi er et samarbejde mellem Statens Filmcentral og Danmarks Radio ved animatoren Lejf Marcussen. Projektet formål har været at give nogle instruktører mulighed for, over en længere periode, i størst mulig frihed, at fordybe sig i de levende billeders umiddelbare materiale. Trine Vester skriver om sine produktioner: »Fantasie Impromptu« er billedvariationer over Chopins klaverstykke - en undersøgelse af det synkrone og det asynkrone. »Black and White City« er en klassisk fortælling om ondt og godt - en dramaturgisk symfoni i et billedsprog, hvor forståelsen udspringer af bevægelsen.
