The Clockmakers

2013

In this experimental animated short from Renaud Hallée, we travel inside a mysterious mechanism made up entirely of revolving gearwheels, triangles and lines. In this whirling, hypnotic world, dozens of tiny gymnasts leap, somersault and twist through the air.

Half-figurative and half-abstract, The Clockmakers is a playful creation that is sure to captivate and dazzle its audience.
