Lightsiders

Lightsiders

A short film combining the technique of Projected 2D animation and real environments.

The film depicts a fictional world that takes place after sunset on the walls of an unknown city. It tells the stories of characters who crawl out of dark corners, oblivious to the hustle and bustle of the big city, and live their little nocturnal adventures. The individual plots create an interconnected mosaic of nightlife, which is a excursion into the fantasy world, symbolically reflecting the world during the day, when people rule the city. For the animated inhabitants of the city, night is day. The form of narration is unorthodox and experimental. The narrative arc jumps in time in various ways and gradually presents us with the development of individual plots, which are intertwined in various ways. The story becomes more dynamic when, in the early morning, everyone gathers on the ledge of the tallest house, where they sit and wait for the sunrise. It is an important, moving moment of reconciliation before the inevitable end, which will be caused by the first rays of sunlight.
