The Core (Romania) by Robert Obert
Animated Films / Cannes International Film Week
•
1m 11s
This short animated film illustrates a common consciousness from which materialized instances of feminine and masculine emerge, only to morph again into a single core. It is a metaphor of a love connection between two partners, fueled from the same source, but also for the power of creation that consciousness holds. This also collects and shows sections of each partner’s transformation process, revealing and underlining that everything begins and ends from and into a single point, it shows the nucleus of narratives from each individual, their symbiosis and eventually their exit. The author considers this animation a meta frame where we can be spectators to a process of creation and emotion.
