    Completely moving and beautifully rendered. I love how the brown palette melds the worlds of USA and Iraq. Film of the year?

About this film

Prayers for Peace is a narrative stop-motion animation confronting the memory of the artist's younger brother killed in the current conflict in Iraq. Drawn entirely with pastels on a slate chalkboard, the materials used to create the animation become a metaphor for the impermanence of life.
