Hello, I'm Adelina Silva... a lover of crafts, fruits, and film! 

I'm an aspiring cinematographer and filmmaker based in Chicago. Themes of obsession, belonging, isolation, and nostalgia heavily inspire my work. Visually, I am heavily influenced by the bright colors and musicality of early to mid-2000s internet culture.

Currently, I aim to combine mixed-media modes of making with digital filmmaking. This includes felt-making, frame-by-frame paper animation, claymation, and collage. Using these mixed-media techniques, I hope to add a physical hand within my filmmaking to enhance the complex inner emotions being described on the screen and add a touch of playfulness.
