Sympathy

The three-woman strong artists' collaboration The Icelandic Love Corporation's animation guides the viewer to friendship through the world's perils and paranoia. Narrated in the grey hues of a 1970s Czech cartoon, the forces of good and evil battle it out in a mythical universe as Hieronymus Bosch-style creatures meet Icelandic elves to a drum-solo frenzy. And at the end, we receive the hard won advice on how to stay (or become) sympathetic.
