Aleph

Japan | 5 minutes | Other | 2022 | Short Film (Live Action) | English

The film's title, Aleph, the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, already refers to the origin an awakening of consciousness that contains an infinite variety of possibilities, of colours. Carolina Ceca, the work's author, has displayed images here that abound in that idea with scenes that allude to the birth of a new life and the creative exploration of one's identity. Filmed at the Embassy of Spain in Japan, this lyrical video invites us to imagine a hopeful future in which we can freely develop our personalities and take flight like the white peacock that crowns the work .
