Paris Mavroidis’s Divers is a short animation inspired by Busby Berkeley, mass gymnastics, and experimental cinema from the ’20s and ’30s. The animation explores large-scale choreography, the abstraction of the human body into shape, and the absorption of the individual into the mass. Parts of the film were animated with the help of a custom animation toolset developed by the director.
