<< Return to Year 2 Program
MAGDA (2004)
Technique: Stopmotion Animation
Country: USA
Running Time: 5:30
A first love is corrupted as a man recalls his affair with a beautiful circus contortionist in this stop-motion animation of wooden manikins. At its heart, "Magda" is an off-center parable about lost innocence and the corruptibility of human nature. Visually, the film explores the use of extreme telephoto lenses, creating enigmatic scenes that reveal themselves over time and ghostly figures drifting in-and-out of focus. "Magda" is filmmaker Chel White's third adaptation of a story by radio artist and writer Joe Frank.
