Matter Fisher is a 2010 animation short film by David Prosser. The film was screened
in film festivals around the world and won several prizes. (you can check the
list below)
This one shows us the relationship between a fisherman and a form of
estranged matter somehow similar to a black hole.
(From this point it may contain spoilers. Stop reading
if you wish.)
The aforementioned form of matter attracts everything around it growing
bigger and more powerful going from attracting fish, for the fisherman’s
delight, to a scenario of destruction. One curious fact is that this form of
matter attracts everything but the fisherman which raises one question: is the
matter somehow part of the fisherman? If so, then I believe this is an analogy to
the fisherman’s desire and greed. At first he just wants to catch some fish in
order to survive but shortly after his greed grows out of control leading to
the destruction of everything he knew before.
The plot is rather interesting and so are the animation itself so watch
it if it attracts you.
