Desaparecer es un viaje poético, a medio camino entre el documental y la animación, que nos invita a recordar los desastres ecológicos que llevaron a cuatro especies de aves a la extinción, para luego imaginar y desear, en un último capítulo, un futuro en el que la armonía con nuestros vecinos alados sea posible.

DISAPPEARING
In developing.
Disappearing is a five-part series of ten-minute episodes that explores, in the form of creative documentary and animation, the story of five bird species: four already extinct and one in the process of recovery.
Aimed at a young audience, the series seeks to awaken an emotional connection with the natural world, question our role in its conservation, and share the hope that it is possible to live in harmony with our winged neighbors.

This short film is part of a larger project, ELEMENTAL: Atomic Tales & Periodic Fables, a collection of short documentary films, each exploring our lives through a different element from the periodic table.
