1The Immortal

Animated short based on a story by Jorge Louis Borges. BA Thesis project at Faculty of Natural Sciences, Published in Ljubljana, June 2018

In Borges' The Immortal a Roman tribune Marcus Flaminius Rufus finds himself suddenly drinking from the waters of immortality.

Through frame-to-frame animation I sought to capture the atmosphere of a protagonist grasping the impossible architecture of the Immortals for the first time.
