Before I become an island

Surrealist short film

A very good example of a film whose poetic dimension encourages the artistic awakening and creativity of children.

Synopsis

A young woman, on meeting a man, is transformed into an island.

Film commentary: Before I become an island

Let yourself be lulled by the rhythm of shapes and colours. Surrealism and abstraction. A marvellous example of an abstract short film whose poetic dimension seems to us to favour the artistic awakening and the creativity of the smallest children. A very nice cartoon for the little ones to see at school from kindergarten and with the family.
