OBEN

Created by Thierno Bah, Noé Giuliani, Pierre Ledain and David Martins da Silva, Oben simultaneously chronicles the past and present of a man's journey between life and the confines of death. Using a truly unique narrative structure mixed with some very clever transitions, the short emphasizes both the ambition and frailty of man. The simple looking, yet beautifully animated angular style worked hand in hand with the somewhat abstract story. And it leaves just enough to the imagination to leave you wondering at the end. Loved it.
