For a three-minute short film Fawns certainly packs a lot in, including some absolutely gorgeous photography and more to think about that you’d think 200 seconds could offer. It’s already gotten plenty of love at film festivals, including winning Best Cinematography at the 20th Athens International Film Festival.
The film follows sensual glimpses of the love between men, while the voiceover narration sees one of them relating how they believe their relationship is similar to a fawn in the forest. You’ll have to watch the short below to find out how.
The rather cryptic synopsis merely says, ‘Two young men are alone at a self-service laundry. They are sitting next to each other, waiting in silence. An old framed embroidery of a young deer is hanging against the wall across them.‘
Greek director Thanasis Tsimpinishas said on the movie, that the inspiration for the short came “out of the blue. I was reading about the life of deer and I stumbled upon the very story my film describes. I thought that this story could be relevant to any being that feels love for another being.”
