A poetic exploration of inner conflict and self-discovery through movement, color, and the integration of opposites.
Živa
Synopsis
Živa is a poetic exploration of inner struggle and liberation. Trapped by the oppressive green threads, Živa’s body and spirit begin to dissolve. From the red world, her unconscious, she draws strength and reclaims her freedom, breaking the bonds that hold her. Through movement, self-discovery, and the blending of green and red, she creates a radiant new harmony. A story of resilience, transformation, and the beauty of setting oneself free.
The film “Živa” is Tamara’s second film, in which she combines her skills in dance and animation.
Her graduation film, “The Wheel of Life”, competed at over twenty international animated film festivals and won five awards.
