Animated short film on human frailty | "Hangman at Home" - by Michelle & Uri Kranot
“What does the hangman think about when he goes home at night from work?”
"The Hangman at Home" is an animated film exploring themes surrounding acknowledgement and the awkward intimacy of humanness. Told in five interwoven stories; each situation presents a person, or persons in a delicate moment: fragile, playful, terrified, contemplated, confused, curious…
We are all very much alike in these moments - alerting us to question our own responsibility and responses.
This short film is based on Carl Sandburg's poem "Hangman at Home".
