Nine Frame Noir is an animated, experimental-narrative thriller. This stop-animation video piece consists of nine segments within a single frame aligned in a grid. Each segment depicts a tiny, looped gesture based in traditional film noir language. The segments collectively hint at a larger narrative, of which they are all pieces. The structure flattens time and language into single repetitive instances. The experimental narrative revolves around the murder of an unfaithful husband. Each character is in question. The viewer is challenged to solve the crime.—Anonymous
