The Sitges International Fantastic Film Festival, known for its dedication to the best of genre cinema, will host the screening of an animated short film made by a group of LCI Barcelona Animation graduates (class of 2023).
The short film, titled Lifetime, has been selected to compete in the prestigious SGAE New Authorship Awards, a recognition that highlights creativity and emerging talent in the world of cinema. Lifetime is a work that will surprise you with its emotional story.
The plot revolves around Clara, a carefree and genuine young woman who enjoys a full and happy life, surrounded by stability and love. However, an unexpected turn in her life makes her question her attitude towards life and her very existence.
