Anima #1-4 – Vaco Diogo (Lisbon, Portugal)Anima # 1-4 is a mash up of four different experimental animations that finish a cycle of creative work. The film explores interior sensations and emotions from intra-uterine memories to growing shadows, ghosts and chaos that emerged in a context of generalized anxiety. Instead of trying to give solutions to problems the film expands a space of mystery through screen awareness. 2024; 3 min
