I Get Up in the Morning with the Giraffes

About This Movie

I Get Up in the Morning with the Giraffes is this intriguing look at Channa Bankier's artistic journey. The documentary has this mellow, almost dreamlike vibe that pulls you in. It’s not your typical documentary; it meanders through her thoughts and her relationship with nature, particularly giraffes—there's a certain warmth in her reflections. Pacing is leisurely, allowing the viewer to absorb the atmosphere rather than rushing through. The practical effects are quite minimal, but they serve well to highlight her paintings rather than overshadow them. What stands out is the intimacy of her process, you really get a sense of who she is as an artist and a person. It’s that blend of art and personal narrative that makes it distinctive, drawing you into her world.
