baby drawings

Baby Drawings is an explorational documentary on the cognitive growth of small children, shown through animated sequences of drawings I made in my developmental years.

Available on Tënk at
tenk.ca.

Screenings:
  • School's Out Festival, Montreal
  • Festival Émergence, Montreal
​
An earnest journey into the beginnings of the mind’s development, Baby Drawings leads its viewer through years of mark-making, identifying it as a method of communication. It asks the question, why is drawing considered a childish activity, when its practice was so integral to our maturation? How would we communicate now, if art-making remained a pivotal and valued aspect of our lives?

Beautifully curated and organized, Baby Drawings leaves a lasting impression on its viewer, and highlights the importance of art-making in contemporary growth.

In the Northwest Passage, a crew of researchers make contact with an ancient corpse, preserved in a massive glacier. As time passes, the scientists are drawn closer and closer to the siren in its icy tomb. An ode to German expressionism and Canadian folk horror.

Max Shoham.
Available on MUBI.
