Even Though
A woman immerses herself in nature in place of all those who care to admire its beauty. She dives with the fish and flies with the birds following nature's flow instead of opposing it. Through song and dance she travels through three distinct environments inspired by Croatia's landscape around the mountain Velebit. As she dances, followed by a song created by Lana Ceraj, she proves that even though she is alone, she'll never find herself lonely in nature.

Marija Gorupić is a Croatian artist living in Zagreb. Since childhood, she has appreciated the classical animation of Disney musicals and films alike. Those interests only grew over time as they led her to graduate at the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb in the field of animation.
She shares her interest in visual arts with her interest in music and musical theater, having spent years partaking in and playing for various choirs.
The animated short, Even Though (2024.), is her debut movie, created as her final graduation project. Through it, she unites her love for both the visual and musical arts in an attempt to convey her childhood passion to her audience.
