RIFT consists of over 10,000 microscope images of plastic wrappings from consumables. RIFT is a film about petrochemicals, the completely different durations involved in the process from plankton to oil to plastic to waste, and the relation between depth and time through the layers of the Earth. The film takes inspiration from the hand painted and colorful animation films that Len Lye made in the 1930s. With a soundtrack by Justin Bennett.
