Puerto Rican artist, animator and film maker Patrick Smith has shared his new animated short film ‘Beyond Noh’. The short features cycles through 3,745 masks from multiple cultures and time periods, backed by an entrancing drum rhythm; with an excerpt viewable above.
“To me, masks are an interesting way to view humanity. It seems to me that every culture in the history of the world has participated in some form of mask making, whether it’s for performance, ritual, protest, or utility.” – Patrick Smith
