Siena

About This Movie

Siena is a fascinating piece of animation that immerses you in its ethereal visuals right from the start. The way it captures the essence of Siena at night is something else—dreamlike, almost surreal. The use of sand as a medium adds a tactile layer, creating an organic feel that’s quite distinctive. You get this rhythmic ebb and flow with the waving banners and the distant echoes of voices, which pulls you into the atmosphere. The galloping horses bring a sense of movement and urgency, contrasting with the night’s stillness. It’s a short but rich experience, perfect for appreciating the blend of art and storytelling.
