Inspired by Friedrich Nietzsche’s Thus Spoke Zarathustra, The Spirit of Gravity is an animated mini-musical, in which Nietzsche sings his philosophy to a small town, arousing the villagers to join him in defying the forces of nature. The Spirit of Gravity is a visual poem that explores the meaning, beauty and mystery of Nietzsche's great work. The animation is composed of thousands of collaged photographs, which have been animated using both traditional and digital techniques. The film's soundtrack is an original song composed by the filmmakers and is informed by the philosophy, imagery and humor of Thus Spoke Zarathustra.

Directors: Victor Bellomo and David Pace
