For Colombian rising animation talent María Cristina Pérez, whose experimental short “Once in a Body” (“Una vez en un Cuerpo”) competed in the Annecy Animation Festival’s Perspectives sidebar, human connection is the overriding theme in her growing body of work.

This is her fourth short, which she dedicates to her sister. “The story portrayed in the short film, about the protagonist as a child and her sister as a teen, is entirely fictional,” she stresses. “It brings together a number of anecdotes and experiences – some of my own, others from people close to me who have gone through similar situations – but the story itself is a work of fiction,” she tells Variety.
