An autobiographical animated documentary film about coping with twins.

A film about the chaos that a multiple pregnancy and birth can bring, and the filmmaker’s bewildered response. Love, panic and nappies. Lots of nappies.

Sam’s film is about her own attempt to impose order upon chaos in the context of becoming a mother of multiples (twin boys). Acknowledging Mary Kelly’s Post-Partum Document, the work uses diagrams, layers and multiple perspectives to process chaotic information into a recognisable and functional structure. Sound by Prix Italia-winning Adam Goddard.

A short autobiographical, animated film about the chaos that a multiple pregnancy and birth can bring. Using multiple layers and perspectives from mother, artist, children and medical professionals, the fractured experience is unravelled and collaged to make a workable order from the pandemonium. Created digitally, the film is an opulent and multi-faceted reworking of home video, children’s artwork and found objects.
