Fresh off a stellar run on the festival circuit (150+ official selections with 47 awards AND Oscar short-listed), A Kind of Testament<\/em> is the first short film from French illustrator\/comic book artist Stephen Vuillemin.<\/p>\n

Produced thru Paris studio Remembers & Co by Ugo Bienvenue and F\u00e9lix de Givry, the film explores themes of identity and paranoia while it conjures a wholly unique tone by merging the intimacy of a memoir with a body horror twist that feels like a collab between David Cronenberg and Junji Ito.<\/p>\n

Born in France, and now working from London, Vuillemin graduated from the animation program at Gobelins in 2008 and had a cult hit in 2011 with his gif-based webcomic Lyc\u00e9ennes<\/em>. He summarizes the story of A Kind of Testament<\/em> as \u201cA young woman comes across animations on the internet created from her private selfies. An unknown female with the same name confesses to identity theft but death is quicker than the answer to the question: \u2018Why?.\u201d
