Sinfonía de Kenia de Carlos Douglas Jr.: Descubriendo la música interior

Por Rhea Mursalin

Carlos Douglas Jr.’s short film, Sinfónica de Kenia, demuestra los poderosos efectos que la música puede tener en aquellos que han estado expuestos a su belleza.. Mediante el uso de animaciones brillantes y coloridas., Esta película describe una historia completa de cómo la desgana puede convertirse en inspiración.. Vemos cómo Kenia, Un niño es arrastrado a un concierto de orquesta., eventualmente desarrolla un amor y aprecio por la música. She initially misbehaves and makes her boredom obvious at the show, but soon enough, she begins to imitate the clarinet player on stage and envisions a life playing and being surrounded by different musical instruments. Although the impact of art on the individual has been seen in media time and time again, this film distinguishes itself by touching on the whirlwind a child’s mind goes through upon identifying the activity that lights their heart on fire.

The lack of audible narration and use of classical instrumentation throughout the film acts as a valuable way of moving the story along, and allowing the viewer to be immersed in the sounds of the symphony. The little sound effects included whenever Kenya attempted to distract those around her also added a witty element to this project. Por otra parte, during the closing sequence in which Kenya discovers her adoration for music, an elevated and grand instrumentation is overlaid, creating a phenomenal moment of finality.

I found this short film to be truly heartwarming and an incredible lesson on how necessary it is to expose young minds to creative arts. I would give it a rating of 5/5 estrellas.
