A village of gnome-like creatures facilitate an otherworldly Rube Goldberg machine. Kate Renshaw-Lewis directs “Busy Bodies,” an animated exploration of production processes and disposable objects. The bug-sized characters facilitate their daily operations. The exact purpose of the machine remains unclear, and tasks vary between stations. At one factory, citrus-like fruits are sent through tubular vacuum systems. At another, slimy, salmon-looking fish slide down the assembly line. In her study, Renshaw-Lewis offers a highly whimsical world combining inkjet and screen printing techniques. -JM. Director/Editor: Kate Renshaw-Lewis. Producer: Eric Ackerman. Colorist: Arius Ziaee.
