Rhymes of the White Crow
animated feature experimental short film
2019.
Rhymes of the White Crow is my diploma film I made for graduating from Film, Media Art and Animation department at Art Academy of the University of Split. It was a culmination of all my creative exploration I had done prior. In it I combined multiple passions – drawing, film, animation, costume and set design, as well as poetry. The film explores themes of dreams, womanhood and richness of inner worlds. It consists of nine chapters, each one representing a poem. Through each chapter we get a glimpse of another stage of the heroine’s journey.
Woman with a soul of a white crow dreams her inner worlds.
