The central motifs of the film are the range of cartoon animation and the building of friendship, metaphorically represented in the theme of this work.

Punto y Raya Academy 2024 / Masterclass by Blanca Rego (ES)
2024 16+ 44 min
Visual Music is one of the most historically rich subgenres of abstract audiovisual art. From its beginnings, women have always been working in this field at the intersection of technology, sound, and film, yet most of them do not appear in history books. In this masterclass, we honoured some of these pioneers, all of whom were obsessed with seeing sound or hearing images.

Bryan Away: The Lake
2020 16+ 5 min
by Qianwen Yu
Lake is liquid, inanimate, emotionless. Like blood flowing through a body, the water circulates and sustains, bringing life to its surroundings. In this video, life is continuously reborn through the raindrops, through the terrain and into the air. The beauty of this process is juxtaposed with the songwriter’s perspective, someone who is detached and yearning to feel the full breadth of human emotion.
