One alien melts to a puddle, another procreates per colourful threesome, and yet another convulses desperately as it is brutally invaded by a parasite. ‘Symbionts’ is a cinematic, observational journey through a dynamic alien ecosystem, in which a variety of eccentric alien life forms are encountered. The film portrays both the dazzling beauty, as well as the unforgiving cruelty inherent to their symbiotic interactions.

One form liquefies into a glistening puddle, another reproduces in a vibrant entanglement, while a third convulses under the invasive force of a parasitic entity. Symbionts traces an organic cycle of interaction within an unfamiliar ecosystem. It reveals the radiant elegance and the unrelenting violence inherent in the symbiotic relationships between diverse and peculiar life forms.
  
The film uses a unique visual style by combining digital 3D-animation and abstracting the animations through a self-made texturing tool. This technique was developed in order to portray the alien world in its own distinct visual language that introduces abstraction whilst still maintaining the suggestion of a concrete reality to us, humans. The result is an intense and vibrant visual language that consists of dense, repetitive textures and boiling surfaces.

The film employs a distinctive visual language by merging digital 3D animation with a custom-developed texturing tool. This approach introduces a sense of abstraction while maintaining a tactile, almost recognizable reality, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in a world that is simultaneously alien and intimately biological.

Synopsis / Summary / Résumé

One form liquefies into a glistening puddle, another reproduces in a vibrant entanglement, while a third convulses under the invasive force of a parasitic entity. Symbionts traces an organic cycle of interaction within an unfamiliar ecosystem. It reveals the radiant elegance and the unrelenting violence inherent in the symbiotic relationships between diverse and peculiar life forms.

The film employs a distinctive visual language by merging digital 3D animation with a custom-developed texturing tool. This approach introduces a sense of abstraction while maintaining a tactile, almost recognizable reality, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in a world that is simultaneously alien and intimately biological.
