Palomar Goes To Town

Synopsis:
Palomar has never been to the city. But Begsbie told him fantastic stories… Today Palomar finally decided to follow his friend's advice: take the bus and go to the city. The bus never passes, and Palomar gets lost in thoughts of him. Then a special meeting will make him change his mind.
Production notes
The short is made through an original animation technique, which although starting from drawing, develops in stop motion, through interventions of cancellation and integration of the initial image. Furthermore, the panels created for the short by the artist Fulvio Bucelli have been exhibited in some exhibitions and can be purchased on our website.
