Aria Covamonas’ Buzzy Animated Feature Debut ‘The Great History of Western Philosophy’ Acquired by Miyu Distribution (EXCLUSIVE)


In the film, a cosmic animator sentenced to death by Mao teams with Monkey and Pigsy from "Journey to the West" to examine Western philosophy.

“Aria’s film is an incredible piece of art,” Miyu Distribution founder and president Luce Grosjean tells Variety. According to the film’s producers, “This slow, deliberate process layered absurdity with intimacy, resulting in a cinematic ‘residue’ that captures fleeting thoughts, symbols, and primal emotions, inviting viewers to experience the subconscious directly.” By challenging viewers to confront perception, reality, and identity, her work offers an experience that resists the constraints of language and embraces the fluid, ambiguous nature of subconscious thought.”
