Whose Woods Are These

USA2024animated6'Short Film Competition

Stepping barefoot on the grass, picking berries and, as dusk approaches, listening to the hooting of an owl and the steps of a wolf - the viewer gets to know a woman who went into the forest but never came back from it. Inspired by the true story of a lost great-grandmother, the film is a poetic tale based on scraps of memory, complemented by imagination. In this animation, created entirely from textiles, the play of textures and a variety of weaves bring nature to life showing its diversity, while at the same time they enable us to look at the family story from a distance, through the filter of our own experiences. The film ‘Whose Woods Are These?’ invites you to immerse yourself in a world woven from memory.
