About the Film

An after-effects animation exploring the odours and nauseas of a ‘morning-after’ bus ride to work, sharing an intimate space with people barely awake and not fully recovered from their sordid nights of passion. Not for the squeamish.

Lisa Risbec is a photographer and filmmaker, specialising in stop-motion animation. Interested in telling stories visually and often using narration, her influences include old folk stories and songs, eastern european cities and towns, experimental animation and shadow puppetry (amongst others). Preferring to work with a traditional stop motion technique, she uses her own photography, found and made objects to create mixed media collage style animations.
