EUNIC - Short Shorts from Europe Film Festival

For the 2024 edition of EUNIC “Short Shorts from Europe Film Festival” held in Ireland, Maltese visual artist and film maker Fabrizio Ellul presented his animation called “Somewhere.”

SYNOPSIS

Wars, pandemics and the acceleration of climate change have forced a selection of human civilisation to find refuge on the Cuboid - a gigantic structure just outside Earth's atmosphere - while the rest of humanity is left to survive on a hostile planet.

The animation follows Vincent - a researcher at the Halo space Research centre - who makes a detour to Planet Earth to retrieve an item. Somewhere is a story about ‘memory’, ‘remembering’ and ‘loss’. The animation was screened in Galway, Limerick, Dublin and Cork.
