Hybrids, marine pollution pushed to the extreme in a short film

Six students from MoPA school School of animation film and computer graphics based in Arles made a magnificent short film on marine pollution. "Hybrids" shows how fish had to acclimatize to pollution to survive and is in the running for the 2019 Oscar for best short animated film.

Adapting to survive

In this 6-minute short film, six students present the marine fauna invaded by pollution. The seabed is filled with tires, bricks and other aluminum waste, and to survive, fish had to adapt... Thus, there is a "canned fish", a turtle "cast iron casserole" or a metallic shark whose eyes light up like car headlights and crabs "beer capsules"..

A call to reflection, without a word, without a subtitle, against the backdrop of the food chain..

These images are incredibly realistic and thought-provoking... Both beautiful and disturbing, these images depict to the extreme what our planet could become under multiple pollution.

In the running for the Oscars
