Animation & sound: Francesco Lo Castro

GALA immerses viewers in a visually striking world of swirling shapes and pixelated textures, where vibrant colors and geometric precision pulse with dynamic rhythm. The film’s depth emerges from the interplay of light and shadow, crafting an immersive experience that seamlessly blends organic and synthetic forms. This visual fusion creates a distinctive aesthetic, drawing audiences into a contemplative space without relying on explicit narrative cues.
Through abstract imagery and kinetic sequences, GALA probes the complexities of memory, transformation, and identity in the digital age. Its dreamlike flow subtly evokes societal division and the longing for restoration, prompting viewers to reflect on their place in an ever-shifting reality. The original soundtrack, composed and produced by Lo Castro, amplifies this experience, weaving sound and visuals into a unified whole that deepens the film’s philosophical undertones. Together, these elements offer a cohesive, multidisciplinary journey into the intersections of human experience and technological evolution.
