A poetic exploration of belonging by Madrid/Barcelona-based filmmaker Jiajie Yu Yan. Inspired by Charles Bukowski’s “The Aliens,” the short film follows a young woman wandering through a world from which she feels entirely alienated. Yu Yan and his team had to similarly navigate unfamiliar terrain as the project came together, as he shared with us:
“We arrived in Benidorm without a script, no budget, no shooting schedule and none of us having been in that city before. Aliens is the result of this crazy and improvised trip.”
