Annecy Festival 2023
Carlo Vogele got his start in the industry as a character animator for Pixar (Toy Story 3, Brave). For his first feature as a director, Vogele, having returned to his homebase in Europe, delivers an entertaining film that reimagines the myth of Icarus as the story of a daydreaming little boy. One day, young Icarus discovers and befriends Asterion, also known as the Minotaur. When Minos, the king of Crete, asks Daedalus, Icarus’s father and a famous inventor, to work on a secret project that involves a dark labyrinth, Icarus realizes his new friend might be in grave danger. Can Icarus save the Minotaur and change the course of a fateful story written by the gods?
