Off The Script Films’ Review

Dani Sadun’s Pandemia is beautiful in the way that it captures the events going on all over the world right now. Pandemia does a wonderful job taking a large and complicated problem, and turning it into a simple and short, yet moving cinematic experience. It’s amazing to see how such a vast story can be told through such simple animation, although I’m sure the work behind the animation is far from simple. Pandemia is unique in and of itself because it has the ability to connect with so many people on an emotional level, much unlike a big, blockbuster movie strictly made for entertainment. I love watching a film that makes you think about how things are changing in your very own world. With simplistic yet beautiful animation, creative dialogue, and a very compelling storyline, Pandemia well exceeds our expectations for Short Film of The Month.
