Personal and nostalgic, Stéphanie Clément's "Pachyderme" is a beautifully animated short film that captures the innocence of childhood with such maturity.
The narration and style reminds me of the Academy award nominated short film "Genius Loci" from a few years ago; where the monologues and the visuals are twofold in meaning and symbolism. With so much going on than what we might be led to believe, this short film manages to evoke a sense of loss and loneliness, while at the same time, a feeling of comfort and embrace.
It's beautiful and poetic and deserves all the recognition it has gotten!
