Paris-based Loco Films has secured global sales rights to “Rock Bottom,” an animated feature exploring the life and music of British artist Robert Wyatt that will world premiere in the main competition at next week’s Annecy Festival.
“Rock Bottom” is a trippy portrayal of the romance between Bob, a famous rock musician, and Alif, a talented visual artist, delivered through lush and vibrant rotoscoped 2D animation.
Together, the duo dives into the creative vortex of 1970s hippie culture in Mallorca and New York. The film explores the elation and agony of the creative process, the allure of easily accessible drugs, breaking away from routine, and the complex nature of relationships.
