Synopsis

A delightful animated poem made with only a typewriter and simple vocal messages, based on the 1920s sound poem Ursonate (Sonata in Primitive Sounds) by the German avant-garde artist Kurt Schwitters. The human voice provides the music while words and syllables dance in this short film, which has won several international awards, including a Bronze Apple from the National Educational Film and Video Festival. Primiti Too Taa was a six-week collaboration between filmmaker and artist Ed Ackerman and writer and poet Colin Morton.
