The Other Side

A Short film by Rojina Farrokhnejad (RJ). Animation, video and sound by RJ.

This project is a visual language in painting and sculpture. ”The other side” is combination of motion pictures, stop motion and images reflecting what each human goes through: their memories, their solitude, metamorphosis. Life and death can be a door opening to a new world and re-creation; a rebirth for a new journey.

The movie starts with three separate dreams. Dream one begins with family memories, solitude, places, loved ones then transforms to the secondary dream separating body and soul to a new dimension; meeting with spiritual beings. This leads to the rebirth of human as the centre of a universe which demonstrates the circle of life.

Eight images of clay animation, beginning with images of the artist with clay on their face, transforming into the coloured clay images from later in the digital story.
