LIGHTHEADED: A JOURNEY TO BE AN INDIVIDUAL

Freedom?



   Lightheaded is a very interesting award-winning animated short film by Mike Dacko. In this short film we witness the efforts of candle drips to know who they are.



This short film tells us about drips of waxes worshipping the fire from which they have originated. While they are dancing around the fire, a mysterious object lead them a journey at the end of which they hope to find their life purpose. Like Mike Dacko himself said 'they sacrifice what they know to become who they are' 

way to find meaning...
   It is obvious that these creatures symbolize  humans: they live their lives; but, there is always one who have the brass of taking the first step. And others follow his footsteps. And of course, there is always one who will succeed in any case. 
   This film was first released at Rhode Island International Film Festival in 2009, and won its first prize for best animation. Film won many awards apart from this one from different branches like best director and best short film.
   If you have 5 minutes, this is worth watching. Here is the trailer:
