Vinguin les Feres

The Plot

Vega is going to her grandmother's village with the aim of witnessing a solar eclipse and relive the fascination she felt as a child when she saw the same phenomenon. On her way, she accidentally runs over a small wild animal and her car breaks down. During the rest of her journey, now on foot, the power of the forest and the energy of the unusual natural phenomenon invite her to enter a journey into the unconscious. Elvira, an old friend of her grandmother, tells her a legend that impulses Vega's desire to enter the forest. She reconnects with her most primitive part by looking directly at nature.

The traveller. The solar eclipse. The animal. The witch.

Our Project

Vinguin les Feres was born when a few students of our class got together and started working on a script for a movie. As we got to know each other, a movie that had a bit of each one of us was being written. Now we have a short film written, we are friends and we need money.

This short film is the TFG (final project) of Ela Matassini, Núria Onsins, Mateu Tur, Marina Millán, Maria Roca, Elena Riera, Kevin Matos and Marina Zubiaur. With this project we want to create a 20 minutes-long short film in which we want to materialize all the things we have learned these last years.

The will of making this project something beyond a school project is the reason we decided to look for new ways of financing our film and we are now crowfunding! We are going to use our savings too, but they look a little bit like this:

So we are talking to you. You, yes, you, that friend who used to play the oboe with me in the music band and now you won't even say "Hi" when you see me around. You, that friend of my mother who tells me that I have grown a lot every time you see me. And you, who just arrived here and now you have to give us money... Come on, won't you help us?
