My Friend Who Shines in The Night

Another fantastic animation from French distributor Miyu, this is the third spooky short to end each of this year’s competition programmes. After being struck by lightning, a ghost loses their memory and is left behind on earth. But luckily they meet Arthur, who may be able to find the answer. When a debut graduation film is this good, it’s no wonder film festivals around the world have snapped up this deeply strange and sensual CG short. Our needs are explored over four interrelated episodes: Sleep, Metabolism, Eat, Sex - as geometric and gelatinous forms ooze and flow through plastic, 3D environments.
