The Timekeepers of Eternity

Taking a closer look at the line-up of the Soho Horror Film Festival, this one stood out straight away, partly due to the compact run time, but also due to how unique the animation sounded, which led to me meeting the timekeepers. Note: Review contains some plot details. View on the film: Revealing during the introduction that he has spent 3 years drawing every frame of the film, the passion editor/ writer/ director/ animator Aristotelis Maragkos has for the project, is visible from the first pencil outline on The Langoliers. Drawing 1000's/ every single frame of The Langoliers, animates this live action film with a meticulous attention to detail, from manipulating the corners of the frame, to razor-sharp Pop-Art editing (which also gives the poor original CGI, a new, wonderfully lo-fi appearance), via the rapid on-screen tearing up of a paper collage technique, which draws ultra-stylized montage mash-up, split-screens and melting impositions, which draw a new Thriller atmosphere to the original mini-series. Working from the original 3 hour The Langoliers mini-series as clay, Maragkos gets on the potter's wheel, and throws together a lean, peculiar 70 minute Horror, which thanks to Maragkos putting aside the excesses in the 3 hours, leaves the eerie supernatural horror shocks zoning in on Stephen King troubled loner Craig Toomey ( played with glee by Bronson Pinchot ) whose paper tearing reveals new horrors behind the timekeepers of eternity.
