“As we live in a world being divided more and more by politics, art remains one of the few means able to unite people no matter their origin. The Venice International Film Critics’ Week has always been a section that shines a light on the filmmakers of the future with an emphasis on diversity. With this visual I wanted to convey that feeling of creation without the constraints of labels, gender or nationality. These floating bodies heading toward a shining light, embracing a brighter future where all barriers have collapsed.” Christelle Halal
