Short Pick Of The Day: ‘Egg’ by Martina Scarpelli
“A woman is locked in her home with an egg. She eats the egg, she repents. She kills it. She lets the egg die of hunger. Egg is a poetic short film based on a small yet significant moment in the director’s own life. It portraits a moment of shame, defeat and yet of victory.”
Film by Martina Scarpelli, France/Denmark, 2018. Produced by Miyu Productions and Late Love Production.
Screened at over 50 film festivals. Winner of Golden Dove for best animated short film at DOK Leipzig (Germany), Jean-Luc Xiberras award for a first film at Annecy (France), and best international animation film at PÖFF Black Nights (Estonia), among other awards.
