Lila

What a wonderful short film. The compassion of creation is manifested and captured in the expression of Alma's enchanting eyes, which seem to change colour and character from one scene to the next. This is a short film, with a simple message so filling the requisite 10 lines will be difficult. The message is simple: Art matters. It can touch you in sublime ways. I found myself gasping at the change of scene, going from a whimsical animation to the embodiment of Divine Feminine as it cuts to the mirror playfulness expressed in a closeup of her eyes.. those eyes, curling and darting with surprise, love, wonder, flirtation, joy, contentment. l'arte dell'amore. Well done.

A magical film about magic. A version of Amelie Poulain looking as Bridget Jones. And magnificent performance of Alma Garcia. A real, real useful film. About force of art and generosity. And about basic , fundamental things defining us and our reality. A great short film. I admitt, I adore it. Each time when I saw it, Iwas its character. In cafe shop, on street, front to the piano or the old photo. A magic film telling the wise story about the magic side of reality.

The thing about imagination is that it never says "No". Sometimes we use it to change an unbearable reality; add what we want or take away what we don't.. We even may use it to meet people whom we can't see in real life anymore..

Lila didn't really like many scenes during her day, so in order to feel better, she used her eyes, imagination, coloring pencils, and sketch to change this reality in her own way. However, she isn't the only who is able to feel her Art; her Art subjects also felt it. They even sometimes, were influenced by the feelings they felt from it, that they changed reality for real.

Maybe that's what Art and Films do to us, right? They take us to this different - better - world and make us feel it, and sometimes they act as catalyst to influence how we see and what we do in our lives.

Just one more example that you don't need to spend millions to make a true meaningful masterpiece! Of all the fancy high budget films with big name actors it's nice to finally discover a diamond in the rough! I highly recommend this to those of you who haven't completely lost your ability to feel and imagination to escape from a cold, competitive, and confusing world.
