- A man shows up from nowhere and shakes up the neighborhood.

One neighborhood on a typical summer day: children playing ball or running in the streets, people hanging out in their kitchens looking out of the window, others leaning out on their balconies, minding their own business. The sun is shining and everyone is just living their life, equal parts restless and listless.
But then one old man turns up in the block of flats and starts yelling wordlessly for no reason. At first the neighborhood is shocked... but soon others are joining in for a collective primal scream.
Director and animator David Dell'Edera's short animated film has a narrative that is mysterious in its extreme simplicity.
The film is unique in that the main "character" is the neighborhood itself, and BALCONY does a remarkable job of capturing the quotidian, even comforting rhythms and flows that a community contains. The visuals are sun-drenched, stylized and even oppressively bright, but the soundscape is beautifully constructed with an ear for realism, with a rich variety of sounds and voices that capture the tapestry of urban life.
This tapestry is interrupted by an interloper's social aberration, which first interrupts the lazy summer day and causes everyone to stop. But soon the scream is assimilated by the community, and the group primal scream is both inevitable and highly satisfying.
BALCONY is both a colorful yet minimalist experience that's both contemplative and visceral, inviting many interpretations. Whether you're stumped, intrigued or a bit of both, BALCONY is both a visual treat and a Zen riddle.

Loved the video! My interpretation is that it’s set in a humdrum town, with people partaking mundane routine which they are bored of. Stress builds from the start with the slow pace, siesta colours draining energy and the irregular ringing of metal doors bombarded by a football. The only coping mechanism we see is the old lady smoking, which is why we do not see her scream. Once one man started to scream many related the ‘need to feel something’, to release the stress and so from isolated scenes we have a couple people unified in voicing their irritation and boredom. I like the ending, once all has been screamed the guy playing poker looks in a mirror to straighten his cap, acknowledging that what he just did is not normal as he steps back into his character and the game. I don’t expect anyone will read this. Writing exercise.
First rule of Scream club there is no Scream club. What I’m saying is that these people have primal instincts that they need to let out
How relevant. I think this is what many of us want to do after 15 months of living with COVID-19 in lockdown.
Is anyone else confused...
Your not the only one…
I think it's about a guy who helps people "Let it out"
AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Maybe therye world language is caveman
I love these kind of short films. Because we will never know. Maybe this does have a secret hard to understand deep meaning. Maybe it's point is to see just what every single one of us understands from it. Or maybe whoever put this together was just taking the piss and there is nothing to it. We will never know. That makes it oddly entertaining.
Masterpiece.
I don't get the point of it. Is it about a lack of communication between neighbours?
Wow
What is this??
Does it have to make any sense? I think this was beautiful, even though I don't clearly understand it. Why would anyone have to understand anything? What if it's someone's dream? What if we just don't get the point of this? I have no clue. And it's okay, I enjoyed this. I enjoyed this without knowing what exactly happened.
Why he shouts?
Because art
Aaaahhhhhh
😐 what
