Director's words: "After adopting my son last year, I wanted to explore my process of becoming a mother, and how things come to matter. ‘Little Light’ is an animated series of watercolour paintings that document the laboured process of making a paintbrush from a clip of my new son’s hair, that is then used to create the painted images. A cyclical and autogenetic process that focuses upon the emotions, feeling and bonds that originate within and between bodies, and are then nurtured through everyday activities that are both created by, and respond to an act of mothering."

NOTE: This film is not available in Canada, Portugal, the Netherlands, Germany, Romania and Crotia.

Filmed on 16mm film, this visual expression is rooted in archival materials, drawing its inspiration from a poem by Hans Magnus Enzensberger, which appears in the film. It speaks of forgotten people, their lives and their deeds. These two Archives were found at a flea market in Zagreb. One is of a famous architect and the other of a famous composer. The film ponders on this occurrence, as well as on the vanishing and forgetfulness of humans.

Director's word: "I collected open licence photographs of clouds from internet. I used my self-made software to scale the color values of the photos to create animations out of them.
