The animation isn't decoration here, it's the entire point, each line deliberate enough that you feel the artist's hand deciding where to place it. Nakamura Shigenobu's score doesn't push emotion; it creates space for the image to work alone. This is cinema for people who stopped expecting plot to carry weight and started listening to what silence can say.

Kidou is an abstract animated film built from finely drawn lines, made in the same spirit as the earlier work SPIN. It was produced in two versions, one in a single color and one in full color. As with SPIN, Shigenobu Nakamura provides the music. The piece is experimental animation rather than a conventional story.
