Dominica Harrison's Animated Short 'Chado' Explores Childhood Abandonment
Dominica Harrison, a Moscow-born, London-based animator known for experimental films, has released a new short titled 'Chado.' The film follows a young girl grappling with the death of her dog from ticks and her mother's new romantic relationship with a woman, which the child perceives as stealing her attention. Combining digital animation with risograph printing, the work delves into childhood psychology, specifically the emotions of loss and abandonment. Harrison's previous work includes the acclaimed short 'L'heure de l'ours' by Agnès Patron, but 'Chado' marks her own exploration of childhood anger and fear.
