Celine CVD 26

A film for CELINE celebrating Chinese Valentine’s Day 2026.

With the magpie as our guide, the film unfolds as a fluid journey through stars, space, and the human gaze, exploring connection and togetherness. Dynamic transitions weave celestial imagery and intimate moments into a continuous visual narrative.
