CINELIBRI is an international film festival for movies based on books. Whaleworx Studio was invited to create our personal interpretations of a series of films in the program, creating unique digital art especially for the event. We were briefed to interpret any of the films from the festival program, choosing either the film itself or its literature counterpart. We did both - and our interpretations became their own unique stories.

The resulting works were exhibited in four select movie theaters during the festival and in Sofia's Crystal Garden open exhibition space. Commissioned by Vivacom ArtHall & Colibri.
