Micromondes

Under the cover of a peaceful forest, flowers suddenly catch fire and give birth to a mysterious ball of energy. Floating through the air, the small incandescent sphere moves through an increasingly dark ecosystem before transforming into a strange virtual universe.

Audrey St-Laurent wrote and directed Micromondes after several exploratory trips into the forest. Completely filmed in a studio, this dialogue-free short film is a contemplative reflection on our relationship with the ephemeral and our transition between the natural and digital worlds. Micromondes explores the connection between nature and simulation.
