High Expectations, A film by Liron Kroll

      Liron Kroll is an extremely talented graphic designer and animator based in London. She has created a beautiful and poetic film weaved with a combination of live shots and hybrid backgrounds, thus creating a dark atmosphere that is appealing and yet disturbing all at once.

The film was made as part of Kroll’s MA course at the Royal college of art.

Kroll’s description of the work:

“High Expectation focuses on society’s depiction of femininity in the context of family photography, and the gap between the idealized photograph and the reality it represents.The film questions the role of family photography as the key way to form memories and examines the effect it can have on one’s perception of the future.
People take the same photographs and most family albums look alike. The film visits some of these iconic family photos scenarios, feeding of the tension and dissonance created through the staging of mundane moments in life.”
