Leylet Europa

Leylet Europa is a 15 minute anima-doc film. Directed by Ronida Alsino and Léo Beaudoin, it is based on the testimony of 4 people who fled from Syria to Europe. As they tell their journey, their unique experiences blend into one another, allowing it to create collective picture without getting lost in the crowd of refugees.

Based on the voices of the protagonists, the visuals are kept fairly minimal as a support base for the sound. It remains minimal, playing with light and darkness. Footage of the research trip in the Balkans have been included as well.

It is a student film created within the curriculum of the Academy of Media Arts of Cologne.
