The Bead Game
Directed by Ishu Patel
Produced by ONF | NFB
A philosophical stop-motion meditation on evolution and human destructiveness, where beads form and consume each other in an escalating cycle culminating in warfare.
To a percussive soundtrack, a succession of more complex animals forms and is consumed by their successors (all formed from beads). Finally, We reach man, who develops ever more sophisticated forms of war.
