Echoes is a contemplative adventure into the depths of a noisy world. Guided by a distant melody echoing through concrete and rock, we follow a character wandering in the dark. Strange places take shape in the glow of his torchlight, and the sound of water droplets on the ground punctuates his footsteps. In the distance, we hear muffled music.

Echoes is a short film I directed and animated for my graduation project at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs de Paris. It took me almost one year and half to make it, from September 2022 to January 2024.

The backgrounds and animation are entirely hand drawn on paper, and the shadows are made digitally.

The film is 7 minutes long.

I had the great honor to be selected at the 77th Festival de Cannes in May 2024 for its world premiere and at the Annecy International Animation Festival in June 2024.
