Pour the Water As I Leave

Dir. Daniela Repas

Pour the Water as I Leave is a feature length animated docufiction about the exodus of Bosnian people during the Balkan Civil War in the 1990s. Interviews with eight Bosnians about their experiences of war and refugee life are seamlessly woven into a fictional narrative through animation, dance, prose and soundscape. The narrative flexes and moves between what is real and what is imagined.

As the director of animation, I work closely with director Daniela Repas and producer Jessica Daugherty to create the animation pipeline for the film, hire and manage animation artists, and deliver the finished animation for the film.
