Hi, my name is Franci

Who am I?

I like to sing, I like to laugh, I like to think
I like to dance, I like to smile, I like to drink
I like weird monsters and I adore them when they stink
I like when walking next to handsome guys they wink

I studied art, literature and animation
and my whole life can be called “procrastination”
traveling around worlds is certainly my vocation
driving my golden airplane led by immagination

Love Refrain

Arguably the most visually arresting animated film of the festival, “Love Refrain” is a gorgeous blend of CG animation and watercolour. It is a short that uses the animated medium to great effect as a homeless man finds a working radio in a rubbish dump. Thus begins an unusual love story between the two as the relationship goes through its many stages, from the heady heights of a new romance to a bitter break-up. It is a quirky, unexpected but delightful film that should find many fans at XpoNorth.
