Hanif Hijazi's short film 'Happiness is...' aims to interpret and illustrate the balanced emotional state of chrysalism: the amniotic tranquility felt when staying indoors during a thunderstorm. Hanif explores these enigmatic emotions through the construction of visual space in two-dimensional animation to tell a calming story that takes place in calamity. Preferring to push the narrative forward through animated backgrounds and atmospherics, Hijazi uses silent animation rather than dialogue in his storytelling.
