Dead Reckoning

director: PAUL WENNINGER AND SUSAN YOUG
2 MIN 47 I AUSTRIA

The film follows the cycle of life, the rhythm of the city. The British-Austrian duo of Susan Young and Paul Wenninger works with animation and stop-motion technology. The filming locations show how Vienna has been influenced by cultures from around the world. An animated skeleton symbolizes the morbid humor of the Viennese and even appears as a grumpy waiter…
