'The Box Collectors'

Silhouette

Chinese were the first Asians to arrive in Oakland in the 1850s, followed by Japanese in the 1890s, Koreans in the 1900s, and Filipinos in the 1930s and 1940s. Southeast Asians began arriving in the 1970s during the Vietnam War. Many Asian languages and dialects can be heard in Chinatown due to its diverse population.

Chinatown is located in downtown Oakland, with its center at 8th Street and Webster Street. Its northern edge is 12th Street, and its southern edge is Interstate 880 (located approximately at 6th Street). It stretches from Broadway on the west to the southern tip of Lake Merritt in the east.

»Shot in stop motion silhouette animation, a dark story unfolds on a farm. Nothing like a good old fashioned murder ballad!
Directed and animated by Eric Power
from the album "Blackbirds" by Gretchen Peters«

»Shadow animation is one of the earliest forms of animation dating back to around 1920. In fact, the first feature animated film was created in the medium by Lotte Reineger called The Adventures of Prince Achmed.« Eric Power
