Colombian Animator’s New Film at Annecy? It’s All About Heart!
- Who is María Cristina Pérez?
- What’s her new short film, ‘Once in a Body,’ really about?
- Why human connection is her superpower!
You won’t believe the heart behind this new animated short! We just got some amazing news from the Annecy Animation Festival. It’s truly inspiring stuff.
We’re talking about María Cristina Pérez. She’s a rising animation star from Colombia. Her experimental short film, called ‘Once in a Body’ (or ‘Una vez en un Cuerpo’), just competed there. Pretty big deal!
This isn’t her first rodeo. It’s actually her fourth short film! But here’s the really sweet part. She dedicated this one to her sister. That’s right, a sister story!
The big theme in all her work? Human connection. It’s something we can all relate to, right? We bet the animation itself has a really special, almost textured aesthetic that just pulls you right into those feelings.
María Cristina’s films explore what makes us, us. And how we connect. It’s a beautiful vibe. We’re definitely keeping an eye on her next projects!

Our Take
We think it’s just wonderful when artists put so much of themselves into their work. Dedicating ‘Once in a Body’ to her sister? That’s pure love. It shows us that even in animation, real life and deep feelings are what make stories truly special. We love how her work focuses on what connects us all. It reminds us that art can be incredibly personal, yet universal. So inspiring!
