Animation Obsessive @ani-obsessive.bsky.social · 2d

Studio Ghibli fell in love with this film and gave its director a movie deal. Master animators like Yuri Norstein call it a favorite.

Its name is Father and Daughter, and we've explored its story:

IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE (Anagrammed Lines)

It came from outer space —
a comet of imp creatures;
a curse of meteor impact —
to permute a cosmic fear,
to cap our mesmeric fate...

▪️ an old poster is pulled down - and a new world awaits us ▪️

in the grey wall behind a broken poster - we could perhaps imagine a storm - or a sea view ..

stage set for a fairy tale

at the edge of the sea - a mix of soft colours and darkness - a background for our imagination ...

You turn off the light
and sense the room rearrange
itself around you

like a different space
where you yourself are different.
So simple to leave

a world. So simple
to stand still. Now you are here,
now gone. Turn it off

and walk, keep walking.

Card from the autumn "suit" of the Astronomia playing card deck, 1829.

Featuring 3 other seasonal suits the pack was used to play two games — Conjunction and Combination — which were trumps-based, similar to Whist. More images of the cards here: publicdomainreview.org/collection/a... #autumn

'When I said Autumn, Autumn broke'

leaves falling on a pond, a pavement, a broken wall - the colours all changing - autumn - equinox
