The Poetry of Non-Self

“The Poetry of Non-Self” is a short animation film that deals with moments that hold beauty, from which the sense of self is absent. It portrays the notion that this is, in a way, what childhood is like – a beautiful, moonstruck stare, which is lived moment by moment and passes in a blink of an eye. The film animates a text that deals with those matters, showing the protagonist’s mental experience while staring inside a boiling pot in his kitchen.
