Barry Doupe: Vancouver Premiere of Ponytail

VIVO Media Arts Centre is proud to present Barry Doupe's (04) first feature-length animation, Ponytail.

Barry creates bewildering rudimentary scenarios, serving as living space for his Sims-look-alike avatars. Set in supernatural light, crystalline, glowing, the shapes and colours in the film seem to compensate the characters' lack of determination. All of them are calm, stigmatized with anxiety and a severe inability to live out their personal desires. This makes the quiescent flow of Ponytail both inspiring and alarming.
