Snert

1991 · 3 min

A brief, playful collage of old film and painted animation that drifts by like a curious, half-remembered dream.

Directed by
Gerrit van Dijk, Jacques Overtoom
Overview
Film material from the forties found in a jumble sale adapted into a contemporary clip. An unknown female singer performs before the camera while (animated) people and animals parade by. The title alludes to the catering on the rainy Sunday afternoon when the film was conceived and made.
