Darwin's Notebook

Directed by Georges Schwizgebel · 2020

A sea captain with humanist ideals abducts three natives of Tierra del Fuego to 'civilise' them in England, a true story freely reimagined in Georges Schwizgebel's flowing painted animation.

Swiss master Georges Schwizgebel turns a little-known colonial true story into a fluid, haunting voyage of painted images.

A creative interpretation of a true adventure story of three natives from Tierra del Fuego who were kidnapped by a humanist captain in 1829.
