Dir. Cornelius Ebatarinja, Nelson Armstrong / 2024 / 9 mins / Australia / English / Animation / Victorian Premiere

On a big-city dance floor, two soft sculptures try to impress each other with their moves. But it takes a comical mishap to bring them together.

Animator and illustrator Nelson Armstrong’s collaboration with Western Arrernte/Arrernte creative Cornelius Ebatarinja and Yarrenyty Arltere Artists uses Indigenous soft sculptures, a hand-painted background and charismatic 3D animation for a hilarious tale of burgeoning romance, busted moves and DIY tailoring.
