‘Rubber cement – (a film splicing glue) is a temporary adhesive, it means you can move things around, right?’ – R.B. to Lucy Fisher, UFSC Newsletter.
An anarchic collage of invention, Rubber Cement uses Rotoscoped family footage together with found objects to create an almost free-form animation bursting with colour and movement. Abounding with allusions to the film making process and references to the history of animation (including a guest appearance by Felix the Cat), Breer conjures up – with the use of travelling mattes to let live action and animated images appear together – a joyous film full of warmth and humour.
