Theoria
January. 15,2024
In ancient Greece "theoria" describes a journey to bear witness at a festival taking place in a foreign city. The "theoros" undertook the journey on behalf of their community and, upon returning home, described what they had seen with their own eyes. With "theoria" the first step towards knowledge is seeing. With a hero's journey the return is as essential as embarking in the first place—through the act of leaving and then returning after the arduous journey the new is metabolized and the old is seen in a new light. Theoria is a scratch animation made by hand-painting 35mm filmstrip.
Reviews
As Good As It Gets
While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
