Homesite

Synopsis: Building a collective house as three narrators, has been a drive to explore intimately each other in a suggested space and time. Our interest relies in investigating the act of building/constructing as well as inhabiting a local. “Homesite” is the territory where all these encounters manifest 
Director: David Habchy, Renato Duque and Thanut Rujitanont  
Technique: Digital animation, pencil, colour pencil, oil pastel and pen on paper 
Duration: 7:45 min
Description: “Homesite” is a short process-based poetic animation. The project aims to explore the directors’ privacy and communal space via different approaches, methods and formats and to investigate the drive to action/reaction or non-reaction when triggered by an object/item/image. The film is about meeting point/s between each director’s personal experience: fragments of childhood memories merging with the process of remembering, the memory retrieval. The animation techniques used vary between drawing on paper, drawing on transparency sheets, 2D digital animation, rotoscope over stop-motion and video footage. These treatments are used as tools to expand the directors’ investigation.
