Muybridge's Strings is a Canadian-Japanese animated short film, directed by Kōji Yamamura and released in 2011. A meditation on the passage of time, the film contrasts the story of Eadweard Muybridge, the British photographer who was a key innovator in the concept of photographically recording motion, with the story of a contemporary mother in Tokyo who realizes that her daughter is growing up and slipping away from her.
