ASTRES IMMÒBILS

The short film programme Astres immòbils opens a door to discover new worlds through stories that give life to assertiveness, listening, and mutual respect. The three narratives propose a journey that transports us to unique visual universes, starting from the symbolism of colours and shapes. They speak of coexistence, of the possibility of discovering where each person comes from, and of the transcendence of making these emotional journeys. In Astres immòbils we meet Chenghua, a nine-year-old girl who must assume the responsibility of acting as a translator for her Chinese-origin parents, and who seeks to escape through her hobby of space. In Luce i la roca we discover the friendship between two characters who, despite seeming to have nothing in common, face their fear of the unknown together. In the fable El naixement dels oasis a cold-blooded snake and a too-warm-blooded camel become friends until the end of their days. Astres immòbils closes the series of three short film programmes made up of La barca del vent and L'illa dels ocells. Each of them features a half-length film starring a pre-adolescent girl, thus forming a trilogy of initiation stories of contemporary heroines.
