EifùEifù

Eifù (1994, 35mm, 3'45”), animation, directed and animated by Tommaso Cerasuolo and Cinzia Di Felice, a Zenit Arti Audiovisive production.

Synopsis:
Eifù is a short animated movie telling the story of a man from his birth until his death, in four minutes. Life, growth, education, war, pain and suffering, love, life and loss of love, old age: everything is mixed in the animation which ends with a fast final part full of hallucynated memories. The movie is full of colours representing sweetness and also violence. It took one year to the authors to complete the animation.
In 2005 Tommaso Cerasuolo used the images of Eifù to edit a music video for the song Cerchi nell’acqua, made for Paolo Benvegniù and Audioglobe.
