Saturday Short

Today's short is the beautifully conceived and produced Ama, by Julie Gautier of Les films engloutis. Silent except for the accompanying music, "Rain in your black eyes" by Ezio Boss, the film was choreographed by Ophelie Longquet and edited by Jerome Lozano. It premiered in March 2018 at International Women's Day events. Gautier's notes about the short indicate that its story is one that "everyone can interpret in [his or her] own way"; it is dedicated to "all the women of the world."

Gautier is a French film director and an underwater cinematographer who holds a French record in free diving. Her collaborator and partner is Guillaume Nery, the world champion in free diving. Gautier and Nery co-directed the Beyonce music video Runnin.
