About
Footless Studio is a Shanghai-based stop-motion studio exploring the poetic and material possibilities of handcrafted animation.
Founded by filmmakers and visual artists Hana Zhang and Eugene Lee, the studio positions stop-motion not only as a technique but as a contemporary artistic gesture—where touch, texture, and the micro-politics of everyday life become central narrative forces.
