The Vanishing of
the Animals
2D short film

SYNOPSIS There is not a single cat in the streets, all the animals on earth have disappeared.
An escape, a kidnapping, an exit ?
No one knows where the animals have gone.
Without them the world seems frozen, quiet, and out of sync.
Finding the animals becomes an obsession, a necessity, a dream…
That’s when Paul accidentally finds an egg in the forest…

Les Louves
CGI short film

SYNOPSIS The world as we know it no longer exists. Global warming, the depletion of natural resources and overpopulation have together concocted a virus which has decimated humanity. Civilization has collapsed.
One of the few survivors Eva and her dog Lou take refuge in the forest from her violent father, where they meet Lili, an old woman who has lived in the woods for years. Together, the two women will learn to live differently, they will educate each other, help each other, and love each other. To survive essential but cruel nature, they will have to become free and wild she-wolves.

Thanks to SAR, ‘Les Louves’ is now in production, produced by TNZPV in Arles.
