Muybridge's Strings
Muybridge's Strings (; Maiburijji no ito) is a Canadian-Japanese animated short film, directed by Kōji Yamamura and released in 2011. A meditation on the passage of time, the film contrasts the story of Eadweard Muybridge, the British photographer who was a key innovator in the concept of photographically recording motion, with the story of a contemporary mother in Tokyo who realizes that her daughter is growing up and slipping away from her. The film won the Excellence Prize at the 2011 Japan Media Arts Festival, and a special prize at the 2012 Hiroshima International Animation Festival. It received a Genie Award nomination for Best Animated Short Film at the 32nd Genie Awards in 2012. References
