Animation: Marie Lavis
Technique: Stop motion, traditional, ink on paper
Music: Shai Maestro
Production/School: HEAD-Geneva
Dialogue language: None

An animation created for Mirrors and the Message, two complementary paino compositions created by Shai Maestro and his musicians. They both were improvised musical moments, full of freedom and emotions. I worked in that same state of mind, letting improvisation, the unknown and freedom guide me. This work, both musical and visual is about celebrating, expressing and embracing Life, with its imperfections and wonders.

logline: Sometimes greed can lead to the loss of a magical gift Main idea: One of the most difficult tasks for artist is to find a balance between creativity and money (wealth) sinopsis: An artist, is blessed with a magical gift – she can bring paintings to life with the mere touch of her brush. Unfortunately for her, as often happens, this unique ability goes to her head. One day, having accepted money for a future piece, and greedily revelling in her new-found wealth, she touches the banknotes with her brush. The money springs to life, but the paintings fall silent, however hard she tries to make them speak! It’s a punishment: the magical gift is gone, her talent is no more, and her brushes dance as if mocking her. With the commissioned piece ruined, she sits and sobs in despair. Then she hears a whisper: “There’s a chance – give it back, give it back, maybe if you give the money back, your gift will return!

Just as humans today imagine the world a century in the future, ancient humans also envisioned themselves in future scenarios where we are now today. There is no way for us to know whether the visions of the future can be realized, but we can predict it by referring to the discrepancy between past imagination by ancient people and the realities of today which were used to be future for them.I reviewed different versions about 21st century by ancient people in a differing centuries from the following points:architecture, technology, urban design and lifestyle.I constructed a parallel world according to what the ancient people have failed to accomplish and abandoned designs.

A strange multicolored cloud born from a melting ice-cap appears in a small sea-side town. At first intrigued, the inhabitants are soon enraptured by the supernatural powers of the cloud. And with good reason. The rain transforms its surroundings in unexpected ways. But the effects of the cloud may not be as benign as at first appears. Humanity takes up arms.



(Abstract nr.2 ) Shellshock 01:41

Netherlands 2018
Directed by: Jeroen ter Welle
Screenplay: J. Ter Welle
Animation: J. Ter Welle
Technique: 2D photo's
Music: none
Dialogue language: none
Subtitles language: none



An abstract or very free interpretation of the word ‘ Shellshock ‘ inspired by the fact that the English word ‘ Shell ‘ has multiple meanings. It can be a shell found on a beach but also a shell we use in a war. In this video I have used shells that I did found on a beach and sound to make something intense and disturbing like an explosion. After all it is an explosion that causes the human trauma that is known as ‘shellshock ‘. And it ends just as abruptly as it did start. The second work in a series of three that mainly deal with the materials with which they were made.



(Abstract nr. 3 ) Leaf / (Abstrakt nr. 3 ) Leaf 02:54

Netherlands 2019
Directed by: Jeroen ter Welle
Screenplay: J. ter Welle
Animation: J. ter Welle
Technique: mixed media
Music: none
Dialogue language: none
Subtitles language: none



The last in a series of three short experimental films that mainly deal with the materials with which they were made. In this one I used the dead leafs of trees that somehow, in a not so rational way try to mutate back in to the form of a tree. Every single image was originally a dead leaf (or made with dead leafs). The sound is a soundscape of non- natural sounds, in contrast to the images that origin from nature.

USA 2018
Directed by: Rebecca Ruige Xu
Animation: Rebecca Ruige Xu, Sean Hongsheng Zhai
Technique: Programming generated animation

Processing generated animation aims to produce an emotive, richly-textured representation of a poem about a young women’s moment of self-discovery. Combining abstract pattern, text, ASMR sound and vocal music, it offers an audiovisual experience that provokes emotions via a unity of sensation, allowing the appreciation of poetry beyond its literature domain.

Ana dances in her erotic universe, in spaces that manifest themselves from her own memories and sensations. This short film is based on the intimate experience of a woman whose sexuality is disputed between the pleasure and the anguish she experiences due to the impossibility of having an orgasm. Ana is movement, sound, matter and space. Her body goes through different states that represent the cyclic stages of a process of contact, sexual arousal and failure at the peak of pleasure. Ana seeks in her privacy a way of feeling herself, of establishing a relationship with her body, her past and her desires.
