[SFS] Skhizein - 91 centimeters apart

Every week I'm going to post a note about interesting short film I watched. This will be called 'Short Film Saturday'.

Struck by 150-ton meteorite, Henry has to adapt to living precisely the ninety-one centimeters apart.
A short animation, that lasts less than 13 minutes, in a comical way tells a story about a sad man 'affected by a meteorite'. When Henry was hit, he discovers, that his body is constantly being shifted by 91 centimeters from where he should be. To open the door, sit on a chair or pick up the phone, he must perform actions exactly offset by such a distance.

My word:
With a warm, well-rendered scenes, great detail and completely abstract moments, this modest piece of animation wows and requires independent interpretation of film by every viewer.
And Jérémy Clapin, director, writer and animator fully deserved (and won) many awards including Kodak Short Film Award at Cannes Films Festival, and Students Jury Award at the Krakow Film Festival.
Totally worth seeing short film - also, great piece of inspiration.

Enjoy!
