SARA (2016)

Here’s a refined description for your animated film "Sara":

"Sara" is a short animated film that explores the themes of childhood friendships and the bittersweet process of letting go of the past. Initially created as a submission for the annual "classic clip" competition in Kassel, the film began with a straightforward interpretation of the music. However, after re-evaluating the project, I decided to start anew, aiming for a more personal and introspective approach. The film abandons a clear narrative in favor of a collection of small, significant moments from my own memories—each moment open to personal interpretation by the viewer. The melancholic sweetness of the music serves as a poignant backdrop, capturing the nostalgic and fleeting nature of childhood and teenage experiences. Through this personal lens, "Sara" reflects a universal theme of letting go and the emotions tied to memories of the past.
