“Swarm” is a wordless animated short film that explores the feeling of being ‘too much’. Through sound and music, along with the growing presence of insects, the film evokes an inner sense of chaos, shame, and not belonging in the space around you.

The film is digitally animated and has been developed through an experimental and intuitive process.

We follow a figure whose voice is replaced by an unintelligible sound, moving through encounters where they take up more and more space, while the presence of insects gradually increases.
