Still Life
Lara Jaydha / 3rd AniMela Festival / Belgium, Finland, Portugal, India / 5 min 35 secs / 2025
On a split screen two parallel and contrasting narratives unfold. The world of art and the realm of the everyday are integrally connected and yet hugely disparate. A pair of hands working relentlessly inside a home fade away; while a painting hanging quietly in a museum gains fame.
