The Wellspring and the Tower
Project overview
Student name
Melinda Kádár
The short film draws inspiration from the cyclical process of collapse and rebirth of ecosystems. As the vital wellspring that sustains the ecosystem runs dry, its desperate plea sparks a global mobilisation of resources to construct a monumental tower.
Though appearing to wreak havoc on the environment, the tower has only purpose: to restore the wellspring.
"The film seeks to reconcile dichotomies such as masculine and feminine, natural and artificial, and giving and taking, seeking to justify the existence of both poles and explore their dynamic interplay through a perpetually repeating structure.” (Dotandline.blog)
