D’ombres et d’ailes…
13’/2015/”Of shadows and wings” is my first short animated film, co-directed with Elice Meng. Produced by Vivement Lundi ! & Nadasdy Film.
“In the heart of a group of birds, indignant Moann feels her body changing.
In a society where the greatest concern is the size and ambition of one’s wings,
nihilist Ciobeck tries to protect her. But how can one survive in a barren land, populated by imprisoned-mind people?”
“Au coeur d’une peuplade d’oishommes, Moann, l’indignée, voit ses ailes disparaître et d’étranges craquements s’opérer sous ses pattes.
Dans cette société où seules importent la taille et l’ambition des ailes, Ciobeck le nihiliste voudrait la protéger.
Mais comment survivre dans une terre stérile, peuplée d’esprits «encavernés»?”
