Before Babel
2012, 6 minutes
A piece of art allows a mother to get closer to her dead son.
Young artist Andrew leaves England for a cycling art tour of the Netherlands. His first stop is The Hague’s stunning Panorama Mesdag - a full sized painted panorama that plays with space and time. Inspired, he sends a photo of it home to his Mum. Then tragedy strikes. Using both live action and animation Before Babel tells the story for a mother’s search for peace.
