Lightbyrinth

In Lightbyrinth, 21st-century digital technology meets 19th-century animation in a homage to eminent physicist James C. Maxwell. Filmed in Cambridge using his original zoetrope, the film conjures a sense of wonder at early image-making processes. Intricate editing and sound design create a playful diffraction of colors and a joyful dance of lights and bodies.
