NUDE TRIUMPHANT
SHORT FILM BLOCK 2
SYNOPSIS
WORLD PREMIERE ON WEB3 PLATFORM
Jay rushes to get ready for another frantic day. Armoured against the sights and sounds of the City, he races against time until a chance encounter propels him into a strange watercolour world. Here, three Nudes reveal their truth and an enigmatic Professor directs time. But will Jay dare to expose himself in order to find the clarity and connection he seeks?
Nude Triumphant combines painting from life with experimental digital animation. It was produced during the Covid-19 lockdown with a community of Queer and intersectional life models and artists. The film encourages us to pause and reflect, discovering our unique identities in stillness and building a healthier relationship with time and with ourselves.
