Dark Room – Animation Screening
On Thursday 10th November, Pocko Gallery proudly hosted an animation screening of ‘Dark Room‘ – the new short film from award winning animator Sugar Blood‘s (AKA Pedro Allevato).
In this animated short Pedro explores the prisons our memories create, the struggles of moving on & the acceptance that nothing is ever as perfect as it seems.
The film is a reflection on relationships. The protagonist discovers old photographs which brings haunting memories of a past lover to the surface. Dark Room touches on perception and faulty memory, and how a happy photograph may not show the truth that lies beneath.
