When it comes from the Earth

Synopsis: A little girl, a cumbia and a sustainable, healthy world.

Submitter Statement:  I graduated in Animation in 2013 from the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design in Budapest, Hungary.
Besides short films and animated scenes for movies, my focus is primarily on making music videos.
Music videos are especially inspiring for me because instead of narrative story-telling I can create visual poetry based on associative images.
I also like to work on animated documentary films because with animation it’s possible to express the more subjective parts of a narrative.

Icarus

Synopsis: Icarus adjusts to his life as his new medication splits him in two.

Submitter Statement:  Icarus is a surrealist experimental film speaking on mental health and the effects of medication intended to help. The internal struggles of Icarus are given to the audience through all aspects of the film. The music was inspired by Burmese orchestral music played for a Burmese deity called Ko Gyi Kyaw, who is labeled as a spirit representing euphoria from addiction and greed. The animation portrays contrasting feelings of euphoria and discomfort with inspiration from Alice in Wonderland, the African Thinker, and the story of Icarus himself.
