Vovô

Poem about Family in Animation
Directed By Luiz Lafayette Stockler
Produced By Royal College of Art
Made In UK

Luiz Lafayette Stockler brings us a touching personal story about growing up with his grandfather in Brazil. His use of simple line drawings and muted color palette provide a sense of nostalgia for a simpler time. Vovô (Portugese for “grandfather”) is Luiz’s graduation film from the University of Wales, Newport before moving on to the Royal College of Art. (He’s also very responsive on Vimeo, so ask him a question or two about how he made this film!)
