Into the Forest

2026 · 10 min

A quiet, tactile little dream about making something out of nothing, gentle and a touch melancholy, with a handmade charm that lingers.

Directed by
Antonin Niclass
Genres
Animation, Adventure
Overview
In a quiet stop-motion studio, a small monkey opens its eyes. Everything around it feels frozen. On a computer screen, a luminous jungle appears, distant, almost alive. With two companions, he sets out to create one of their own, using whatever they can find. A forest shaped by imagination, their only way out.
