paint on glass animation
Maximerat Animerat
Göteborg Film Festival (Jan 26 – Feb 5 2018)
Swedish Premiere
A fascinating exhibition of rhythmic animation in which Michaela Müller demonstrates a superb sense of color and form. She creates a strong visual composition in which light is cropped in multicolored stripes that are set into motion. The airport serves as a metaphor for the modern world where people are portrayed as the material particles they are made of. Doubtlessly one of this year’s most powerful artistic experiences within animated film.

Silver Hugo for Airport
Chicago International Film Festival
Great art can make you feel like you are living an experience. Watching Airport gave us all the sensation we were in that space. A film that takes us to a place we don’t want to go in the most kinetic, sensual way possible. An ominous, topical film that is never heavy-handed.
Jury commendation, 53rd Chicago International Film Festival
Special Award
19th Bucheon International Animation Festival
The animation technique fits well with the chaos of airports.
