THE BIRD FROM WITHIN

A bird lives within a woman’s body—an impossible coexistence that has grave consequences for the host. This simple yet powerful metaphor portrays the intimate relationship between mental and physical health. Competing in La Cinef at Cannes, this award-winning 2D animated short is brought to life with broad, sweeping lines in a poetic expression of the tense dynamic between limitation and freedom within the human body.
