A ray of light reveals a face in the darkness. A tear leaks from his right eye, crosses his face and falls into the abyss. The tear takes us to an inner place of suffering, where pain overshadows sanity. In this fragile state of delirium and helplessness, science, faith and witchcraft are intertwined in the hope that the broken eye will heal.

 

Giulia Falciani was born and raised in Florence, Italy and works as an animator in Berlin. In her work, she plays with different materials and techniques to fully exploit the possibilities of the medium of animation: from traditional drawings and stop-motion to digital animations and experiments with light and different textures. Her films have been shown at numerous national and international festivals. At the same time, she collaborates with artists from different backgrounds to realize theatrical performances, music videos and documentaries.
