After many years working on music videos (with clips for Eminem, Pink Floyd, Robbie Williams, Amy Lee, Lindsey Stirling, Sebastián Yatra and Zooey Deschanel’s band, She & Him), and more than 10 years dedicated specifically to paper-based animation, Italian director Stefano Bertelli felt it was time to stop creating only for others and doing commissioned projects and start making what he refers to as “deeply personal projects.” “Spacetime Chronicles” definitely fits into that category. This 71-minute film that marks Bertelli’s feature debut (he directed a paper animated feature film before, but refers to it more as a test or gateway project), “Spacetime Chronicles” is a visual journey through the mind of Fred, lost in limbo, guided by a cat who acts as his conscience.
