Quick Thoughts on 'Symphony No. 42'

Symphony No. 42 by Reka Bucsi

Symphony No. 42 by Reka Bucsi discusses the concept of karma. The first scene of the short film has a fox drawing the All-Seeing Eye symbolizing that God is watching everything that you do. The series of snippets portray some humans being kind to animals versus some killing them or using them for their coats and other demands. On the contrary, the film also shows animals embodying human qualities (personification) and following cruel acts against humanity as a reference to karma. The style of the work is very quirky and comedic allowing the audience to understand the artists hidden meaning without much seriousness yet leave enough room for thought and analysis afterwards.
