Synopsis

As if imitating overexcited atoms or rapidly moving molecules, a convulsive world of multicolored shapes and patterns transforms endlessly in the rhythm of a gentle blend between classic oriental instrumentation and synthesizers.

Background

Direct Animation was created using a rearranged version of Norman McLaren's "drawn-on-film animation" method. The short film was included on the Takun Films DVD, released by Anido in 1998. The DVD compiles 18 of Taku Furukawa's animations in chronological order.

In February 2022, the Collaborative Cataloging Japan organization, dedicated to preserving Japanese experimental movies from the 1950s to the 1980s, made available Direct Animation during its three-month program featuring works by Taku Furukawa, from December 2021 to February 2022.
