Neli Duan Jia: Lotus, DVD. Just in from Shanghai, China - A fantasy at night in a Lotus Pond. Beauty, desire, doom and redemption are represented in this poetic fantasy. Created as a 3D animation choreographed to music, and integrating Chinese and Western art, this film of a lotus expresses life from poetic beauty to destruction and to the process of rebirth again. Description of beginning of film: "A silvery moon in the sky, a lotus pond in a peaceful night, a white lotus quietly stands still alone. With the moon concealed within a cloud, stars gradually appear and the starlight reflects onto the lotus pond, as many pink lotuses rise to echo the starlight. The stars are attracted by the beauty of the pond and drop down like meteors, they become flickering glowworms, frolicing. Various pink lotuses leave their stems by the temptation of the glowworms and dance with them. Some glowworms fly toward the white lotus and magically change to a silvery moon, this makes the white lotus rise and dance inebriatedly." (DJ). Those who love Joie de Vivre are certain to enjoy this lovely film (CVM). Lotus has been selected for nine International and Chinese film festivals, and has won four prizes for best animated short. 10 mins, DVD, 2004.
