Affairs of the Art

A little girl fascinated by worms, a boy fascinated by nails, grandma making an endless supply of preserves, in ‘Affairs of the Art’ everyone seems to be a freak of a kind. The narrator thinks she is the only normal person in her crazy family. Is that really true? The animation uses black humour to show, in an exaggerated way, our obsessions and persistent pursuit of our dreams. In a distorted mirror, it exposes the process of art creation and tapping into one’s reserves of creativity. EFA nominee at the Valladolid International Film Festival
