Description of the work:

HALATION*
Directed by SUZUKI Miyuu
Running time: 34”

I had a hard time accepting Cavafy’s poems because of the gaps between the age when he was alive and the present time, and his viewpoint regarding sex.
So I portrayed my feelings about his poetry, not about each poem.

First I was able to read Cavafy's poems in depth.  
As I read on I found words that referred to homosexuality, beautiful boys and so on.
And I felt difficulties in making an animation based on his poems.
I wasn't able to come up with an idea for an animation. But I didn't have much time either.

Well, I made my animation inspired by Cavafy's poetry as a whole, and not by a specific poem.
I wanted to represent my feelings, confusing, chaotic, psychedelic, techno music and electric signals in my brain.
A main character is a woman, maybe it's me.
In the woman's brain, frustrations and confusion flicker and chemical reactions occur.
Sometimes a Cavafy is seen dimly.
I wanted to create a beautiful chaos and psychedelic images.

* Suzuki Miyuu didn't make a movie based on a poem; she made a movie that she was shocked by Cavafy's poetry as a whole.
