2020 GFF Edition — Catching light

Synopsis

Catching Light is a short narrative animation. Drawn by hand, the animation is constantly flowing and changing, at times its expressive lines running wild and chaotic. The story is about the struggle for one’s deepest desires, and in its journey, with darkness in place of light, questioning the reality of desires, and the perceptions of the ideas of imprisonment, freedom; resistance, acceptance; desire, and non-desire.
