Passion Project

Every year, OFFF Sevilla gives artists a blank canvas, inviting artists to shape their vision. For the 2024 edition, we filled that space honouring the soul of Seville: Flamenco.

Not a literal take, but our own visual rhythm. We built a story that pulses with abstract geometries and emotion, drawing from an artistic expression form that’s as complex as it is captivating.

Telling a Flamenco story from the outside looking in? Tricky yet rewarding. It allowed us to explore an art form deeply tied to Seville, yet capable of transcending geographical borders and resonating across generations and cultures. So we listened. Watched. Learned. And then carefully crafted visuals and music, ensuring every detail served the story.

To bring it to life, we turned to geometry. Mudejar patterns, Feria posters, cityscapes reimagined in bold, minimalist forms. The palette? Rooted in the real - Seville’s sun, sky, trees, and shadows. Every hue, every shape, every frame had a job to do. Including the credits. Rather than weaving them into the city itself, we let a bulería take over - an energetic outro that stitched the whole piece together.

Soundwise, Flamenco led the way. The guitar was our guide, echoing through the Alcázar, across Triana, all the way to the final beat of the Soleá. Animation followed suit. The dancer moved first, then came the voice, the guitar, the percussion - each transition flowing into the next like a well-rehearsed compás.

Some projects stay with you. This one did. Not just because of the craft, but because of the conversations it sparked. And those conversations? They’re still going. We’ve shared more thoughts in a follow-up piece that digs deeper into the process, the feedback, and everything in between. If you're curious, head over to our blog to read more.
