About Supersilly

As the scenes unfold - blending childish traits and imagination with uncomfortable, monstrous visions - Veronica Martiradonna’s film digs deep into trauma, conveying clarity (that of the mark it leaves behind), and complexity (what are the actual details?). A brilliant, relentlessly creative piece of animation, in which excitement and innocence contend with the harsh reality on display, and through which the filmmaker addresses the audience directly, from one subconscious to another. 

I don’t know how to be loved, it’s the kind of pain that never leaves me and with which I don’t know what to do with it; so I decided to make a film about it: SUPERSILLY.
I hope that it can fill the heart of the people who watch it.
I offer you my cherry-sugar heart : please handle it with care!
The more you dig into it, the more things get complicated, though drawings I try to simplify them.
The images are stylized in a funny way, like they were the world seen through a child’s eyes :
always on the edge between sweetness and madness.
The sound design is eclectic, dense and varied.
In each scene there is a different composition that pushes the mood and the emotion of the visual in order to create an atmosphere even more childlike, disturbing and frontal.
