(Quebec, 4:10 minutes)
Award-winning animation filmmaker Shira Avni continues her deeply personal animated documentary journey to explore motherhood, fragmentation, neurodiversity, trauma, and healing through the infinitely laborious, handcrafted frame-by-frame filmmaking process. Two-One-Two mixes archival video, sound recordings, experimental, shimmering clay on glass, under-camera, and rotoscoping animation in this intimate, experimental animated documentary love letter to motherhood, parenting on the spectrum, and two headed monsters everywhere.
