First, a question to the viewer: if it were raining indoors, where would we seek shelter from the insistent drops? Where would we feel safe and dry? We have to go to the other side of the threshold. Suddenly a bell rings, and who is it ringing for? “I spoke to me, he to he, she to she, the ground spoke to the ground, the trees to the tree. Meanwhile inside, the familiarity of that well met rain continues to be falling…“ writes the director. 　　The animation, which evokes the presence of a hand, is like pleasant afternoon rain in summer – a time for contemplation, talking to oneself, and beholding a sky at dusk. Australian-born Milly Yencken studied painting in Tasmania and received her classical animation training in Vancouver, continuing her studies at Masters level at the Estonian Academy of Arts. Her work combines oil painting with charcoal to create her signature brand of colour brutalism and fauvist embellishment, attempting to create spaces and images that are immersive and invite reflection in the viewer. 　　源自：https://rigaiff.lv/en/films-2023/austrumlietus/

The onset of the 21st Century will be an era in which the very nature of what it means to be human will be both enriched and challenged as our species breaks the shackles of its genetic legacy and achieves inconceivable heights of intelligence, material progress, and longevity. While the social and philosophical ramifications of these changes will be profound, and the threats they pose considerable, celebrated futurist Ray Kurzweil presents a view of the coming age that is both a dramatic culmination of centuries of technological ingenuity and a genuinely inspiring vision of our ultimate destiny.
