“The office photocopier sees much more than we can imagine. In the darkness of the copy room anything can happen.”
The Copyist might seem like an innocent title, but this film’s content certainly, is not. This sensual short from independent studio Mimicry Motions has bagged a slew of awards since its debut last year. This includes ‘Best Experimental Film’ at the 27th MEDIAWAVE International Film Festival, as well as silver for ‘Best Sound’ and ‘Best Avant-Garde Film’ at the Global Independent Film Awards 2017.
It was recently selected as a Vimeo Staff Pick so for those who missed it, you can catch this in-office tryst unfold from the unusual perspective of a photocopying machine.
