The Moon and I, Benedek Sulyok, Laércio George Mabota

"The Moon and I" is an animated film about an albino boy who was born in a small village in Africa. The story is based on true facts and is related to the persecution of albinos in Tanzania and other African countries. In superstitious beliefs albinos have magical powers and therefore are persecuted and their bodies sold for the purpose of black magic. The animated film is aimed at an adult audience and is intended to draw attention to the fate of albinos. The main focus of the project lies on forms of discrimination, oppression and the failure of human rights. The project is a collaboration between an animation student of the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts and film music master students of the ZHdK.
