THE GIRL WITHOUT HANDS
key art concepts, design, art direction, compositing
Directed By SÉBASTIAN LAUDENBACH
I was asked to design the key art for this gorgeous film. It was great to represent such an experimental visual style and intemperate it into a striking visual.
The Girl Without Hands is the audacious feature debut from acclaimed short filmmaker Sébastien Laudenbach, whose beautiful and dreamlike take on the Brothers Grimm story has created an adult fairytale destined to become a classic. Hand-painted with lush, evocative details and featuring the voices of Anaïs Demoustier (The New Girlfriend) and Jérémie Elkaïm (Declaration of War), the film premiered in the ACID section at Cannes, was nominated for Best Animated Feature at the César Awards, and won both the Jury Prize and the award for Best French Film at the Annecy Animation Festival.
