"The film should resonate differently depending on your own connection to the images, your own memories. However, our intention is that Telsche’s journey from isolation to connection will feel universal: although our individual experiences of love and loss may differ, the emotions themselves are shared by us all." Set on a surreal plain of salt flats, Telsche is an abstract short film that explores memory and loss, as one girl attempts to remember someone who she has forgotten. Telsche Dir. Sophie Colfer + Ala Nunu ▶ Watch Now 🔗 Link in Bio "What makes Telsche so striking is just how much care and precision sits behind its apparent simplicity. This is anything but effortless. Every scene carries the weight of countless hours of animating frame by frame, of trial and error and a good helping of raw talent, and you can feel it in the way the animation moves and breathes." - S/W Curator, @serafimovaserafima CREDITS: @sphancy @ala_nunu @miko_blonski @brunocaetanoanimation @cola_anima

Telsche is a 2D animated short that feels like a fading memory. Directors @sphancy and @ala_nunu use a stark palette of blue, black, and white to follow a girl’s surreal descent into a void to reconnect with her mother. 🌊🌑✹ With no dialogue, the film uses visual poetry to explore the quiet, lingering nature of grief. Vast salt flats and deep underground tunnels mirror the fragility of memory, trusting the viewer to feel their way through the emptiness. It’s an immersive, award-winning look at loss that doesn’t need words to break your heart.

“My mother was a Japanese diver and my father an English sailor. One of my earliest memories with my mother was of watching pearl divers in Japan. They would dip and descend in their white uniforms, without tanks of air, and collect pearls from the depths. For centuries, these divers have scoured the same seas. The sea remains unchanged, while human lives come and go. The sea in Telsche reflects this as the site of memory that allows the character Telsche to connect with her mother, a lost diver.” - Sophie Colfer, director with Ala Nunu of #Telsche 🌊 Set on a stark salt-flat landscape and rendered in just three colors, Sophie Colfer and Ala Nunu’s 2D short follows a young girl’s search for a mother she can no longer fully remember, using stripped-down visuals without dialogue to explore how memory fades and returns. Now available to watch on YouTube! Read the full interview from @victoriadavisd on AWN.com! #colaanimation #awn #animationworld #animatedshort

Following the online release of @sphancy and @ala_nunu ’s short film Telsche on @shortoftheweek last Friday, here’s a look at some making of material! Set on a surreal plain of salt flats, Telsche is a 2D animated abstract short film that explores memory and loss, as one girl attempts to remember someone who she has forgotten. These concepts of memory and forgetting permeate the entire film, reflected visually in the contrast between light and dark and in the choice of still, wide shots, wherein the subjects are barely visible, on the verge of being seen but as of yet unremembered. There is also no dialogue and much is obscured, suggesting the fog of forgetting. The Mother’s face is covered by her white diver’s headscarf and goggles. Her white clothes sink into the white of her surroundings. The shadows in the salt house, the lack of light, and the salt fog all shroud identities and surroundings and truth. Initially, we experimented a lot with painting all of our backgrounds, with the intention to infuse the texture of salt into the film. However, we ultimately settled on the clean 2D digital style to best emphasise the stark contrasts of the world that Telsche inhabits, although the stone face — as an element not of her world — still remains rendered in paint. Swipe for texture and style tests, early concept art, unseen footage, and character designs! Catch Telsche online on @shortoftheweek or via link in bio, and for Berlin friends, the film is showing at @pictoplasma in May. /2026/03/27/telsche/ Thanks to 💙 @brunocaetanoanimation @miko_blonski @anaiutes @jakkaczmarek @agissyo @viernev @namigu_
