worlds, hidden and shown

"Windows, masks, and doors first appealed to me in their uses of intentionally concealing and revealing. This seemed like a marvellous way to expose space and characters. Both visual and aural motifs are utilized to create an old radio music box and it's conductor who tunes a medley of tracks revealing masked players hidden. Tinkering with the idea of music conductor/train conductor and music tracks/train tracks, the viewer is given a carnival ride on a toy train through the perpetually changing sets of the radio and the shadowy imagination of a masked traveller." - Sarah Orenstein



An extraordinary thing: this is Windows, Masks, Doors, a short animated film by Sarah Orenstein, the winner of the 2006 Renderyard Film Festival. The style of it reminds me of... a boothed puppet show, like Punch and Judy. Worlds in miniature.
