Hold Me Tight by Mélanie Robert-Tourneur (First Look)

Mélanie Tourneur is a Belgian animation filmmaker to take notice of. Born in Liège, and studying animation in Paris (LISAA - L'Institut Supérieur des Arts Appliqués). Her affinity for combining the wild element with the empathetic can be clearly seen in her film Looper (co-directed by Eva Doroeck).

Her new film, Hold Me Tight, explores the contrasting elements of the bizarre and the congenial.

In the heart of a dark forest, two silhouettes meet, attract and repel each other in an explosive bridal parade. “Hold Me Tight” is a bittersweet romance - Film Synopsis

Produced by Vivi Films and La Clairière Ouest, the 2D computer-animated Hold Me Tight screens both at Anima Brussels (9-21 February 2021, National Competition) and at SXSW Festival (18-20 March 2021, Animated Shorts Competition).
