Directed by Shanice Kamminga
Always & Forever is a poetic short that glides through time in a single, seamless shot. Set in a historic Dutch canal house, it captures fleeting moments from generations past, Painterly 3D worlds and rotoscoped figures merge to create a portrait of stories of love, loss, and everything in between. It explores how the things that divide us, whether through time or culture, are far smaller than the things that bind us.
