‘Venezia, the most ancient city of the future’ is an enchanting adventure tailored for children, following our protagonist Elena as she embarks on a journey through time, encountering some iconic people and places of Venice along the way. Throughout her odyssey, Elena delves deep into the heart of her city and its surroundings, aiding characters from various eras in addressing ecological and sustainability challenges. Upon her return, Elena emerges as a messenger to her peers, imparting the crucial message that the fate of Venice and our planet lies within their hands. She inspires them to take personal responsibility and action, in order to make of Venice, the most ancient city of the future. Utilizing a blend of 3D and 2D techniques, we have meticulously crafted a visually stunning film that seamlessly marries both styles. The result is a captivating, vibrant, and painterly aesthetic that pays homage to the timeless beauty of Venice.
