Primiti Too Taa

A unique and delightful three-minute sound poem. With the use of "typewriter animation," Primiti Too Taa comes alive on the screen as words and letters pop on and off, swirling and dancing in a rhythmic beat with the spoken soundtrack. This short film was adapted from "Ursonate" (Sonata in Primitive Sounds), a longer poem written by the late German dadaist Kurt Schwitters.

Genre
Animation, Short

Awards
Best Animated Short, Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television (Genie Awards), 1989.
