The Nightingale and the Rose

“The Nightingale and the Rose” is a stop-motion adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s story that blends photography, animation, and a colorful aesthetic to reimagine this tale that is as beautiful as it is tragic. Filmed on a fully handcrafted set—where the animation and effects are created in-camera through artisanal techniques—the short film builds a magical universe in which human and fantastical characters coexist in a poetic reflection on love.
