_The Origin of Creatures_ is inspired by the biblical story of the Tower of Babel and is set in an imaginary future where the world is hit by a catastrophe. Among the remains of a devastated city lives that what is left of humanity. Human bodies are divided into separated parts of the body and are fused to special beings. Together, these creatures form a colony. In the rubble of destroyed buildings they are trying to build a nest as large and as high as possible, so that their queen gets enough sunlight to reproduce."

Floris Kaayk (NL), geb. 1982. Nachdem er sich der Animation verschrieben hatte, spezialisierte er sich auf die Verschmelzung von computergenerierten Bildern mit Live-Action zur Darstellung seiner Ideen. Seine ersten beiden Filme bieten dazu noch dokumentarischen Charakter. Kaayks eigenwillige Technik und Stil wurden als kennzeichnend für ein im Entstehen begriffenes neues Genre bezeichnet.
