Party

Party is a short animated film that playfully and boldly blends humor with surrealism. The main character, Olina, receives an invitation to a party that at first seems perfectly ordinary. Gradually, however, it is revealed that the guests begin to shed their social masks, transforming into colorful clouds, nebulae, and bizarre shapes – uncovering their true passions, identities, and guilty pleasures. Through watercolor painting and 2D animation, the film highlights the contrast between neutral uniformity and the wild energy of our hidden inner worlds. The party becomes an allegory of liberation from social norms – a space where one can fearlessly reveal and celebrate their authentic self.

Director’s statement
Every passion, deviation, departure from the norm, even a guilty pleasure, makes an individual unique, yet it is often hidden beneath a protective shell or layer of normality. I would like to approach this animation, about searching for a safe and free space where a person can truly be themselves, without fear of being judged as strange or different, through a sense of exaggeration, especially in its visual style.

I aim to depict the contrast between neutral uniformity and a wild interplay of colors, shapes, and textures. Visually, I want to explore how different inner worlds, personal spaces, and "bubbles" might appear, pass by one another, and even merge, transforming into entirely new forms and personal landscapes.
