Synopsis:
An anthropological tale of the emergence of mind from matter.
Theology and theory coalesce in Emergence, a short stop-motion film featuring a solo character who personifies the evolution of consciousness from the material world. The film compresses scientific discovery, curiosity, awe, transcendence and God into a performance-driven narrative with a sardonic twist.
