Zoetrope is an experimental avant-garde short film by music-video director Charlie Deaux. It presents a haunting, apocalyptic story of man's metaphysical existence.[citation needed]

Inspired by Franz Kafka's story In the Penal Colony, the film is an attempt To transfer Kafka's dark, nightmarish vision and gloomy atmosphere to celluloid. The visuals are the work of music video cinematographer James Hawkinson. The 3D animation for the film was created by Robert Beebe. Shot in 35mm grainy black and white, the film features dark and surreal visuals. This eighteen-minute work features a dark ambient soundscape by musician and sound designer Lustmord (also known as Brian Williams) and was released on DVD [1] in 2005 by Soleilmoon Recordings.
