Following the success of her award-winning animated films, Crulic: The Path to Beyond (2011), The Magic Mountain (2015) and Marona′s Fantastic Tale (2019), Anca Damian returns with a post-modern re-interpretation of the Robinson Crusoe story. The Island imaginatively blends vibrant colors and a surreal story set in the present reality to tell the tale of a doctor living on a remote island invaded by migrants, NGOs and guards. This unique but intentional set up sets up what is a bitterly ironic look into a world in which racial discrimination, refugee issues, and ecological collapse are dissected through poetic lyrics and symbolic visuals. More than anything, this is a story about an individual, limited by his hypocrisy, living in solitude on this devastating planet, searching for the meaning of life. (Karen PARK)
