Overgrown

Block 1 (5:35-6:35)

Director: Cailleah Scott-Grimes

Runtime: 7m

Elderly Margo is devastated by her sudden eviction. When she stumbles upon a dead mouse under the floorboards, she begins to reconsider what is treasure and what is trash. With dream-like animation sequences and an entirely acappella music score, the film features the voices of Tyva Kyzy, the first all-female group of Tuvan throat singers. "Overgrown" is a fairy tale for adults–a poignant glimpse into elderly eviction and how small rituals can help salvage the broken pieces of a person's life.
