About
Rune Callewaert is a stop motion animator and director, with experience in graphic design and art direction. He focuses on narrative cinema, exploring relational tensions between characters in externalized and evocative worlds. On a technical level, he designs and builds his own sets and puppets, often trying to achieve a baroque and macabre, but also slightly humorous atmosphere within his films. He experiments with different techniques to add emotionality to these worlds. Themes surrounding art history, decadence and classical music feature frequently in his work.
In '70s Flanders, a housewife seeks comfort in a peculiar and personal specimen kept close by her husband. With newfound confidence and the specimen - her own discarded tapeworm - as a friend, she thinks of a way out of her unhappy marriage. When her husband’s jealousy takes a turn for the worst, she plots revenge and escapes the repressive household. An absurd, but sincere stop-motion fable.
