Valeriy Kozhin transforms Lewis Carroll's poem "The Mad Gardener's Song" into a surrealist adventure that maintains the spirit of the poet's work and incorporates a wildness that is all Kozhin's.

The film conveys an abstracted conceit of a logic game. Using paper cut-outs and puppets, porcelain dolls, and minuscule objects, Kozhin draws on images of childhood.

Using a color palate rich in natural pigments, his work also feels like more classic animation--a mixture of Marc Davis era Disney and Jan Svankmajer, one of Valeriy's favorite filmmakers.
"I see a new world with my eyes when I am inside a film," Kozhin said. "I think that cinema is a young art. We have the great opportunity to make more than we can imagine in animation."
