ISLAND is a new animated short by Max Mörtl and Robert Löbel which transports the audience to an island populated by a diverse range of fictitious creatures. Solitary pink blocks, bird-like beings, and volcanos find friends and partners along the way, each showcasing a unique method of verbal or aural communication. Lava wiggles while Tetris-like tubes find unique ways to stack and connect, and a blue blob rhythmically beats its long nose against the trunk of an island tree to attract the attention of a feathered friend. The film is a mix of 2d animation and stop motion crafted from paper, cotton balls, and clay, and is soundtracked by designer David Kamp who melodically edits together the animals’ noises.
