Back to Backspace

About This Movie

Back to Backspace is a curious little piece of animation that plays with the idea of what happens to our digital detritus. The atmosphere feels a bit surreal, almost dreamlike, as it explores this alternate realm where all those computer deletions go. The pacing is quite unique - at times it feels like the story lingers on certain moments, giving you a chance to soak in the oddity of it all. The themes about memory and loss resonate beneath the surface, and though the director remains unknown, the animation style has a distinct charm. The characters might not be the most fleshed out, but they carry the weight of their surroundings well, which is what makes it stand out in the crowded animation landscape of 2014.
