The Human Hibernation is a film about human nature if it had been different. Starting from the disappearance of Erin, a child who wakes up prematurely from hibernation, Clara, her older sister, will take us on a journey of searching for answers and confronting the narratives pre-established by the society in which she lives. One that hibernates during the coldest months of the year. A reflection on the human being, contradiction and the animal condition.

Dirección / Direction
Born in Terrasa in 1991, Anna Cornudella is a multidisciplinary artist who works primarily as a director and art director. She graduated in Film from ESCAC in 2014 and since then she has worked in theatre, film and video art. Her work moves between film and science, and her interests focus on the human being, the individual and hierarchical structures within society. All of her projects revolve around bio-art, seeking alternatives and social utopias. She has directed music videos for the band B1N0, and made video art projects such as The Wheel together with the New York artist Eliza Lu Doyle, as well as Jacob or Self Maintaining. She started working on The Human Hibernation (2024), her debut film, within the framework of an Art Jove research grant in collaboration with MACBA. The film had its world premiere in the Forum section of the Berlin Festival.
