Kirsten lepore short film 2010
She just has to be. She has the most perfectly attuned sensibilities I have yet seen in a short filmmaker towards what is current in culture. Her animations, a mix of twee and handicraft enveloped in bittersweet wrappers, are amazing artifacts; clever and nostalgic in mood, precious and handcrafted in design—these films celebrate life, but never far from that sentiment is the specter of loss.
Bottle is her greatest achievement yet.
Winner of the Vimeo Audience Award for Animation this year, it tells the story of two unlikely penpals; one a mound of sand, the other a pile of snow.

Each are endowed with sentience and mobility and come to know each other by trading details of their lives through a floating bottle. The result is visually inventive, yet also emotionally affecting. Bottle is a film which showcases Lepore’s rapport with current culture, but also her precocious handle on timeless storytelling.
