This short animation tells the familiar story of Christmas in an innovative and colourful way. Filmmaker Evelyn Lambart uses glowing zinc cut-outs to give this traditional tale a contemporary twist. Akin to a joyful medieval manuscript, the film is embellished by the artist’s own whimsy—heraldic trumpet sounds, luminescent light, and wildflowers in every scene tell the message of rebirth. A film without dialogue.

A24, the studio behind Academy Award winning films such as Everything Everywhere All At Once has announced a collaboration with KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS to adapt Hideo Kojima’s acclaimed video game, DEATH STRANDING, into a live-action feature film.
The announcement comes ahead of KOJIMA PRODUCTIONS, 8th Anniversary on 16th December marking a new milestone in video game to film adaptations. The film promises to delve into the mysteries surrounding the apocalyptic event called the “Death Stranding”, which blurred the lines between life and death, and brought forth nightmarish creatures into a world on the brink of collapse.
Hailed as the architect of the stealth genre and a pioneer in interactive storytelling, Hideo Kojima continually shifts the boundaries between film and game. Widely considered the father of the stealth genre, he is also credited with innovating both story-telling and cinematic presentation in video games at large. In 2020, Hideo Kojima received the BAFTA Fellowship, the highest accolade bestowed by BAFTA upon an individual in recognition of exceptional contribution to film, games or television.
Hideo Kojima said: “A24 was born into this world about 10 years ago, their presence is singular within the industry, they are like no other. The films they are delivering to the world are high in quality and very innovative. I have been attracted to their creations and they have even inspired my own work. Their innovative approach to storytelling aligns with what Kojima Productions has been doing for the last 8 years. Now, we are making a Death Stranding movie together. There are a lot of “game adaptation films“ out there but what we are creating is not just a direct translation of the game. The intention is that our audience will not only be fans of the games, but our film will be for anyone who loves cinema. We are creating a Death Stranding universe that has never been seen before, achievable only through the medium of film, it will be born.”
Connecting with over *16 million Porters across PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5 and PC, DEATH STRANDING is an award-winning videogame that has captivated players from all over the globe. DEATH STRANDING originally launched on 8th November, 2019 on PlayStation®4 and features an A-List cast including Norman Reedus, Mads Mikkelsen, Léa Seydoux, Guillermo del Toro, and Margaret Qualley.
Challenged to navigate a fractured world torn asunder by cataclysm, players take on the role of „Sam Porter,“ entrusted with the crucial task of reuniting a splintered America, rekindling hope and forging connections among the remnants of humanity.

Barbie demanded contemporary VFX techniques to realise Greta Gerwig’s unique vision, drawing on classic soundstage musicals of the 50s and 60s. Achieving this required close collaboration across crafts to deliver invisible effects, a testament to the artistry involved. To help Gerwig and DP Rodrigo Prieto map Barbie Land’s physical landscape, production VFX supervisor Glen Pratt deployed previsualization, LED, virtual scouting & production techniques to navigate the logistics of the soundstage, plan key shots, camera angles, story beats and gather detailed lighting reference. To build a world full of life, a huge number of handcrafted miniatures and vintage Barbie toys were scanned and digitally recreated for use in panoramic vistas and downtown street scenes. The iconic aesthetic of Sarah Greenwood’s production design provided a strong frame of reference for the art department and visdev teams at Framestore to concept and build many more CG miniatures in post production to populate set extensions, backdrops and full CG shots. From Barbie’s Neighbourhood, the Pink House, Real World This Way, Beach Drive and Weird Barbie’s house, the strong direction set by the miniatures team saw these digital builds blend seamlessly with the cinematography and stunning set pieces in the joyful final film. Barbie features 1300 VFX shots, with Framestore VFX supervisor Francois Dumoulin leading the team delivering close to 800 shots focused on Barbie Land. SFX supervisor Mark Holt’s spectacular transitions handed over to Victor Müller, VFX supervisor at UPP who took care of Venice Beach and those car chase sequences in the real world. FuseFX handled the Mattel HQ scenes with Chicken Bone, Powerhouse and Lola contributing too. Thank you to all Warner Bros. Pictures and Greta Gerwig for having us on this incredible journey.
