The Crows

2024 Submission
Written By Justin Merino

sacred: the earth.
- Iliana

This short film tells a story about human devastation from the spiritual perspective of crows. They are questioning human behavior. The images were originally planned for a bigger exhibition which was called “Intersections”, from the creator and costume designer Iliana De Boisblanc.

It is about fashion awareness, recycling and up cycling material and the urge to understand our existence as humans on planet Earth. This film was made to be a warning that it is time for us to be understanding and respectful with our Nature Mother Earth. Let’s create our future and be present—We only have this one beautiful planet to take care of!
