‘Drawing Class’ and ‘Nap’ screening at Arteleku, Spain

The Lost Objects of Childhood
Selection of shorts curated by Deborah Levy

‘The idea that repressed anxieties and desires are embodied by objects is well established in the literature of psychoanalysis. The films selected for The Lost Objects of Childhood broaden the application of this dynamic to animation. These five films resemble postmodern fairy tales for adults. Their subject is often the experience of childhood – its passions, longings, mysteries and magical thinking. Some of the films take place in domestic enviroments that offer surreal possibilities, others in landscapes that juxtapose social realities with imagined worlds. All of the films share an interest in creating a visual grammar for the unconscious.’
