A LIFE WITHOUT COLOR

SATURDAY | 12:00pm

Pau Bonet and Cristian Ruano

4 min | Spain | 2023 | USA Premiere

Lita Martí, a 77-year-old widowed grandmother lives alone with her cat, Pipo. Since the death of her husband, Quim, she hasn’t been the same person. And if that wasn't enough, she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's.

Jury Statement: A masterpiece! An outstanding narrative, which builds quietly, and makes sense through the plot point and through the written words that follow the animated exercise. A precious color treatment, given by a successful use of light and a virtuous development of stop motion animation. The sound acquires a value as narrative and descriptive as that of the visual. Outstanding representation of Alzheimer’s, charged with emotion and humanity.”
