The 2021 edition of OFFF Vienna launched with this ambitious and atmospheric allegory from director Ian Bradley and the creative team at animation/VFX studio Carbon, complete with a live orchestral score by Antfood.

Writer/director Ian Bradley at Carbon in Brooklyn: “‘Repeater’ is the story of a world in which creatures speak in symbols and can turn those symbols into realities. A ruling class of Sayers forces Repeaters to only speak in squares, creating endless cubes with which the Sayers can build their towers.

One Repeater, banished from their tower for creating a forbidden anomaly, wanders the wastelands and discovers a band of misfit rebels in the midst of a wild ceremonial ritual. Joining them, they discover the true potential of these forbidden forms to change their world.”
