Animation: Ma’agalim

This is by far the best short animation I have seen in years, the official music video for Jane Bordeaux’s ‘Ma’agalim’. A wooden doll is stuck in place and time in a forgotten, old penny arcade, revolving endlessly as the other characters move around her. Absolutely beautiful.

Lyrics

Translated from Hebrew

Nights turns into days
Days turn into years
And inside them I am going
Fast and in circles
Winds are blowing at me
Blowing down my neck
Everything seems too far
Oversizing me

It’s not me that’s progressing
It’s just the time that’s moving on
It’s just another passing train
It’s a further tightening rope

Sunrises sinking fast
Seasons passing more
And I am the same
while the time is cutting short
