“Natalis,” created at the Institute of Animation, Visual Effects and Digital Postproduction at the Filmakademie Baden-Wuerttemberg and directed by Daniel Brkovic and Jan-Marcel Kuehn, receives a VES Award for “Outstanding Visual Effects in a Student Project.”

Natalis tells the story of EA, half woman, half machine, that walks through the native forest. She discovers a strange plant with cocoon-like leaves. Inside this cocoon floats a human embryo. As she touches the plant, EA experiences a vision: The embryo has transformed into ENKI, an insatiable monster that destroys the entire world. EA struggles to break free of the plant.
