The Buenos Aires duo of director/animator Bruno Persico and graphic designer/author Clara Fernández look again on the surprising penalties of the pandemic shutdown on our closest relationships of their brief movie Aire.
Produced as a part of a contest held by the Ministry of Tradition of Argentina to create one-minute animated movies in regards to the COVID-19 shutdowns, Aire was accomplished over a two month schedule for a price range of US$2,500.
Clara Fernández: “I used to be fascinated with telling a narrative in regards to the intimacy of bonds: the buried need, the fears, the restrained impulses, the latent risk.
“The confinement of the quarantine revealed the sinister that hides in on a regular basis life, the disturbing that filters into our closest ties. What moved me was to return to the small dramas that this pandemic brings with it and that terrify us as a lot because the virus itself: realizing which you could’t stand your youngsters, discovering that with out work life feels empty, getting locked up with the flawed particular person.
“That is the story of a girl at that second when she is about to do a transgressive act that may fully change the course of her existence. I needed to replicate the depth and deep feelings that she goes via when she decides to take cost of her personal life and free herself from the confinement of that bond that takes her breath away.”
