Overcoming Psychological Torture.
The winner of the 2011 IRCT micro film competition aims to show the lasting psychological effects of torture on the victim. Tom Erik Douglas Smith, the author, created a slightly uneasy and haunting feel to the film that will stick with the viewer. He also left room within the symbolism for the viewers to interpret in their own way. It is filmed entirely in stop motion animation.
Film title: Overcoming Psychological Torture
Written and animated by Tom Erik Douglas Smith
