Why Pinscreen?

Directed by Brice Vincent

With Alexandre Alexeieff, Claire Parker, Sophie Le Tétour, Jean-Baptiste Garnero and Michel Lemieux

The Pinscreen is a tool that was created in the 1930s to make animation films. Although it no longer provides any technical advantages, a handful of animation directors still use it. This film explores why it is so important to create something handmade with constraints, in a time when everything is turning towards instantaneous digital technology.
