Siemaziemia - Intro

A half-abstract half-literal portrayal of a bizzarre birthing overflowing with blood and fetal waters. A creature terrified by the outsides decides to return to the womb.

The animation serves both as a university assignment and a music video for jazz band SIEMAZIEMIA.

Director Biography - Jakub Kostewicz

I'm 22 and I study Animation at University of The Arts in Poznań, Poland.

Through my art projects I explore different ways of depicitng something literal by means of sheer abstraction. With each short film I try to develop a new visual language, that would allow me to imbue abstraction with meaning and context.
