Three Hares

Narrative, UK, 5min Three Hares weaves an enchanting creation myth and the mystical origin story of the ancient three hares symbol into an environmental tale about three sisters who must remind mankind to respect the earth in order to protect their future.The three hares are sisters who are the children of the sun and the moon. Each hare joins with a different element – Air, Water, and Earth – to bear all living creatures on the planet, including mankind. As humans develop over many years and become intelligent, they also become wasteful and greedy. Obsessed with productivity, humans decide to wage war against the moon and the burden of sleep.

Inspired by the ancient three hares motif, whose mystical associations have spanned diverse cultures and religions across centuries.Written and directed by BAFTA award-winning filmmaker Paloma Baeza (Poles Apart, The House), based on an original story by acclaimed author Hanya Yanagihara (A Little Life, To Paradise), from multi-award winning producers Archer Gray (Can You Ever Forgive Me?, 20th Century Women) and Lupus Films (Kensuke's Kingdom, Ethel & Ernest), and Beth Hutchens of fine jewelry brand Foundrae.
