“Becoming” is an acclaimed, stunningly beautiful short film created by Ayelén Liberona and Joseph Johnson Camí at Canada’s Wandering eye Productions. The film is about a mythical woodland creature who is called upon to fight a battle with Man. It mixes together beautiful imagery in the form of beautiful costumes and locations, as well as the beauty of movement by the main character, a mythical being named Idolamantis, an ancient woman who moves like a praying mantis.

Man is garbed in old jeans with a rope for a belt. Barefoot and bare-chested, he is the epitome of the archetypal peasant, straining at trying to make a living. The great shock for Man, and for the viewer, occurs when Idolamantis is caught in mid-air as she literally comes in for a landing on top of him. What follows is an erotic, yet vicious duet for the two charismatic performers. We have pushed nature to the limit and she is fighting back; the slinky, seductive, reptilian Idolamantis wins the day.

This piece includes colorful photographs, as well as this compelling, riveting short film about life and loss.
