The Limits of Vision

An experimental animated long short that depicts a woman coming undone by shifting gender norms in South London in 1975. It is a period piece featuring housewife Marcia, whose whimsical notions about dust and dirt take a dark turn when she encounters Mucor, the god of decay. It’s a story about art, metaphysics, obsessive compulsion and second wave feminism. Told through a fascinating character, an ingenious but profoundly conflicted individual, who comes unstuck amid the transformation of gender rules in 1970s suburban London.

Directed by Laura Harrison, The Limits of Vision leans on a strong ensemble — Sarah Farinha, Greg Hollimon — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about animation titles of 2022.
