Sedentary
Directed by E.J. RosenWe sit our entire lives. We sit at school, at work, and even when we relax. But is it healthy? Are we built for this? What occurs physiologically to children forced to sit, and is it humane to make them do so? If we have to sit so much, as part of the post-industrial condition, how can we make it easier on ourselves? Is standing sitting's opposite, or is it more complex than that? These questions are explored by the unorthodox documentary film Sedentary. The film examines the issue of prolonged sitting in a truly original way. It combines several approaches. The film transitions from a typical documentary film with talking heads to surprising 3D animations and more. It also ventures into ASMR, making the entire topic slightly disturbing. As the film is filled with such humorous editing choices, it never disturbs the flow, but keeps things fresh.
