Language has the power to bring people and nations together by facilitating dialogue and strengthening human connection. Each language has its own way of describing the world, and in turn, affects how the world is seen through it. ‘More Than Words’ is an animated video series which celebrates words and phrases that don’t exist in the English language. Episode 1 describes the wonderful German phrase ‘Innerer Schweinehund’, which literally translates to ‘inner pig-dog’ – the inner voice that encourages you to be lazy. CREDITS: Concept, design, animation and sound design – Serafima Serafimova VO – Georg Csarmann Music – ’ The Model’ by Kraftwerk Special thanks to Patrick Mallett and Sara Abou Dan, for being my guinea pigs and allowing me to film them with a pile of duvets and backpacks which later transformed into a pig-dog. Also to Giulia Bavagnoli without whom the pig-dog would’ve looked VERY odd and creepy.

Now that Roe v. Wade is overturned, one of the few choices you still have left is Eff-Urself! A foolproof way to guarantee you’ll never need an abortion… which is actually eff-ed up. … Made for the National Network Of Abortion Funds, Eff-Urself is a parody product and film that satirically exposes the lack of choices Americans with a uterus have left for protecting their bodies and reproductive health. It speaks to the unjust manner in which wombs are being treated by politicians, and the absurd lengths people might have to go, to avoid getting pregnant in one of the riskiest times. … Eff-Urself is a non-solution to the overturning of Roe v. Wade. … Visit EffUrself.com to find real solutions, or donate. Proceeds support people who desperately need help in states where abortion is illegal or nearly impossible to obtain. Share the #EffUrself film to spread the word.

In a little house filled with mirrors, Fiep focuses on her physical imperfections so intensely that her distorted self-image grows out of proportion… Literally. ‘Reflection’ is a short animated film full of turbulent emotions, relating to self-image and insecurity. It shows the thought spiral of self-loathing that we all get lost in sometimes, when we look in the mirror and absolutely despise what we see… The intensity of this feeling is captured in ‘Reflection’ through hand-drawn animation, with ink and gouache.

Ouri fights a merciless red hand in this K-Hole inspired video, offering a trippy visual feast as a conclusion to her album Frame of a Fauna. Collaborating once more with director Derek Branscombe, this video is inspired by a Ketamine treatement Ouri received last year. The video depicts some of her visions, aesthetically transmitting the feeling of this very strange healing experience, a heroic battle and retrieving a lost connection with her ancestors. Derek crafted this world using a bold and sometimes chaotic mix of VFX and AI-generated animation.
