The Girl and The Great City (2023)
GENRE: Fantasy


LOGLINE
A modern folktale about a girl living in a quiet seaside town. When wandering onto a pipeline construction site she meets “The Architect”, who tells her about a marvelous city and persuades her to leave her town.

DIRECTORS STATEMENT
Throughout history, folktales have captured the fears and desires of the people that told them. With this film I aim to do the same for a contemporary audience, adapting folkloric storytelling to moving-image. While the story follows traditional archetypes, the setting echoes modern concerns of resource scarcity, ever-expanding megacities, and our impact on the environment.
