“ The sea and its waves is a movie that unfolds like a dream. Its story takes place in Beirut, in the shadow of a hallucinated star which ignites the whole movie. ”
Celestial visual effects for the 16mm feature film, The Sea and its Waves, by directors Liana & Renaud (Lebanon/France). Selected and premiered in the ACID sidebar in the Cannes Film Festival 2023.
Using several recordings of live drawing improvisations, the work spaned from creating the moon that haunts this city’s sky, interposing clouds, lighting moving headlights and floating boats on a sea of darkness.
