Stormy Lives

--

An animated short by Elena Madrid
in development

With every decision young Livia makes, she splits into another version of herself, finding herself in a parallel universe and another color. Livia crosses several life paths at the same time, which presents her with a number of challenges. Life paths separate, cross and sometimes intertwine. Until, on one collision, two of Livia's versions find themselves in a new color and a new parallel universe, but who, on the next daily decision, find themselves back in their previous colorful parallel universe. But this time with a new understanding of their decisions.

un loup

An animated short by Guy Oberson and Sophie Delabays

The film is about our ambivalent relationship with the wolf. We travel through imaginary spaces and realistic environments. The story first takes us into mythical ripples that generate passions, define the collective unconscious and fuel the dangerous representation of the wolf. A little girl asks her uncle to play the wolf. This invitation to play lets us experience human oscillations between fascination and fear.

A sound recordist from a Colombian city travels to the jungles of the Pacific coast, in search of the sounds of a past that still haunts the present.

LE VAGABOND

LE VAGABOND

A short animation by Silvain Monney

In production

In the XIXth century.
A wanderer offers his services to various farms in the region. Lumberjack, charcoal burner, he performs several jobs for the people of the village. Sometimes he is hosted for the night by charitable souls.  Having nothing for himself, he thanks them by offering them cutouts, which are often used as bookmarks for reading the Bible. Hence his nickname which is gradually spreading: the Great of Brands. We do not know that Johann Jakob Hauswirth became a precursor in the art of cutting and that his legacy would greatly influence the artists and traditions of the Pays d'Enhaut.
