The Sappho Project: Fragment 147

About This Movie

The Sappho Project: Fragment 147 is a fascinating piece, crafted during the lockdown—an era that pushed many artists to explore new forms of expression. It's animation, but not your standard fare; it feels more like a canvas where emotions and memories collide. The two women at the center of the story seem to transcend time, which really taps into that haunting quality of Sappho's poetry. The visuals are a blend of raw creativity and vulnerability, reflective of the artists' struggles during isolation. The pacing, too, is quite contemplative, allowing moments to breathe. It’s a collective heartbeat of student artists, working with limited resources yet managing to create something that resonates on a deeper level, exploring themes of love and connection through the ages.
