The Trap

1988, 5.5 minutes, BW, sound, 16mm
film: Amy Kravitz
music: Caleb Sampson
synopsis: A film composed solely of stark abstract images animated with black lithographic crayon on paper. "The Trap" was inspired by a quote from holocaust survivor, Elie Wiesel's book, Souls on Fire: "I try to imagine my grandfather in the train that carried him away." Using the language of pure animation, "The Trap" articulates the difficult and disturbing sensations of that last journey.
