The Legend (Ostora)
Hilal - ages 13+ - Ajyal Youth Film Festival 2013
Synopsis
In Competition
Erato, a mythical mermaid, falls victim to her own curiosity and breaks the ultimate law of the sea. Sentenced to death, she is determined to prove to the Great Poseidon that humans are able to accomplish great things. ‘The Legend’ melds Greek mythology (Erato was the Muse of lyric poetry) with Hans Christian Andersen’s ‘The Little Mermaid’. Unfolding like an enchanted pop-up book, this lovely, origami-style animated short provides an original rendering of the epic tale of the unification of the United Arab Emirates.
