In a world filled with chaotic branches, we are lost like a clown. After struggling and suffering, are we heading for the tragedy of bliss or a moment of peace?

The rooster in this film is a clown, a girl lives inside him, they love each other and hate each other, what she wants, he doesn't want, what he wants, he can't do... ...

Universe of Language

Country: FRANCE Year: 2023 Duration: 4 mins.
Sinopsys:
The nearly 150-year-old custom of using body language to initiate trades among traders was officially put to rest in 2021 with the closing of the Chicago Stock Exchange's trading floor, becoming a symbol of an entire financial era. Since the dawn of civilization, the relationship between hands and numbers has been ingrained in our trading culture. Even today, many parts of China still bargain in public using the "hand in the sleeve" technique. When the idea of "Universe of Language" takes on the sense of "trading gestures” and draws on the discussion of "dimensionality" in fractal mathematics, it ends up providing a new formula of visual expression to describe "how we use our body to measure and communicate the world through mathematics.”

Fiore Mio - Andrea Laszlo De Simone

Country: ITALY Year: 2023 Duration: 4 mins.
Sinopsys:
“Fiore mio” is a visual suggestion, a succession of images meant to tell the story of absence and presence, what remains or what is lost, between two people when their paths part. The project was born from a dedication to the song of the same name "Fiore Mio" by Andrea Laszlo De Simone. The music video is a mix of traditional animation and footage, made by printing all frames by hand through the cyanotype technique. Thus, cyanotype becomes a tool that conveys the message, because it is a technique made of voids, of solids, which prints the present time of its creation in an imperfect way, linked to sunlight.

Direction: Viola Mancini
