Filmmaker Statement

Born from a carte blanche collaboration between three emerging directors and legendary French composer Arnold Turboust, Les Lettres de Krakovie is a poetic 2D short that captures the end of childhood through the lens of memory, longing, and surreal melancholy. Set in a house lost in time, three women, a boy, and a bird navigate a delicate limbo. Fully hand-drawn, the animation flows with painterly textures and cinematic sensitivity—each frame unfolding like a forgotten diary page.
