It’s often hard to pin down the original intentions behind an experimental piece of work, which can sometimes leave the viewer feeling perplexed and unengaged in the piece. Zhivko Dimitrov’s Body manages to explore the theories of Phenomenology whilst not relying on them to enable the film to be appreciated as a piece of work in its own right, independent of explanation. He joins us to discuss his debut in the realm of animation.
