Deviant!
You say don’t jump. We say how high? This animated short offers irreverence as a challenge to an authoritarian world
Overview
Resistance might be useless, but it doesn’t stop you having fun doing it. In an authoritarian world the egg-like masses have a single role: to follow directions. But a band of deviants break curfew with abandon and set out to break all the rules – even if it puts them in harm’s way. Eoin Clarke started this film as part of the Animator in Residence scheme at the Museum of the Moving Image, before finishing it for Channel 4.
