Swan Song

| IFFR 2013

‘Swan song’ is a metaphorical phrase for a final effort or performance given just before death or retirement. Anouk De Clercq, Jerry Galle and Anton Aeki found inspiration in the age-old belief that the swan is shrouded in silence during its life – until just before its death. A sparkling, subtle animation.
