Creatures Trapped Inside Recovered Ice Blocks Reanimate Themselves in ‘Freeze Frame’
Freeze Frame" by award-winning Belgian filmmaker Soetkin Verstegen is a brilliant black and white animation that features identical figures repeatedly retrieving ice blocks from an unknown sea. As the figures endlessly bring the blocks to the surface, the creatures trapped inside become re-animated, dragging the block along with them until it all melts down.
