Loop (Loop)

Regie Director: Samantha Moore / Großbritannien / 01/2016 / 00:06:10 min. / Produktion Production: Animate Projects

„Loop“ is about what can be seen and what cannot, how scientists imagine their work and how they describe it. Loop is based on the work done in Dr. Serge Mostowy’s lab on septin assembly in cells, using a zebrafish model.

Not, however, without introducing you to some of the damned that have left already, and who are waiting for you in the fields of desolation.
