A doctor-turned-priest, Father Park was excommunicated for performing exorcisms by a church that refused to believe in the supernatural beings preying on the innocent. When his long-time friend, a monk from a secretive and magic-wielding temple, calls upon him to protect a naïve yet powerful child from his corrupt master, Father Park must face his inner demons to rescue the boy or risk repeating the same tragedy that he took up the cross to prevent.

SHORT FILM OF THE MONTH: PISCES |
|
Rated PG
Pisces is a powerful and visually captivating short animated film that has resonated with audiences around the world, earning accolades and screenings at numerous international festivals. The film masterfully explores themes of loss, identity, and the longing for connection amidst grief.
Directed by the talented Lee Dror and written by Omer Hamawy Ernst, Pisces is the product of an exceptional female creative duo. The story draws deeply from Lee’s personal experiences, seamlessly weaving elements of her time in Japan with memories of the relationships she left behind.
The film’s visual palette is inspired by the striking blue hues of cyanotype, symbolizing the protagonist’s solitude and sense of foreignness in Japan. In contrast, the dream sequences use warm yellow tones to evoke the comfort and familiarity of home. These two colors also reflect the art of Kintsugi—the Japanese tradition of mending broken pottery with gold—illustrating resilience and the beauty of imperfection.
