6/10
An early abstract animation from Brazil
6 April 2024
A festival of colors, shapes and abstract forms directly into the celluloid is what forms "Abstractions - #1 Study", made by Rubens Francisco Luchetti and Bassano Vaccarini. It's an interesting early experiment made by the duo, not only for the technique but also by itself as it is one of the first animated films made in Brazil, or at least the oldest I've ever seen. If considering the title there might be others made during the period or beyond, but this is the one that survived and we have the chance to see it today. The version I saw had a classical score in the background but for the way it was edited it's likely that it was not originally used - the music stops before the images. A fine experiment. 6/10.
