THE FLIGHT OF THE BAT is a metaphorical story inspired by the covid 19 pandemic, and the likelihood that the virus came from bats. It addresses the perspective of what can inspire human beings to change in challenging times, and the benign symbolism that can be perceived amidst a catastrophe. 
 
 
Logline: A man is in the intensive care unit of a hospital, infected by Covid-19. A vision of a huge bat appears at his window and draws him into a flight that forever changes his perspective on our world.

The Flight of The Bat has already garnered mention as a screenplay of outstanding achievement by the esteemed BRITISH ANIMATION FILM FESTIVAL
 
Creative team includes:
 
Award-winning Director/Animator: Tom Rourke
Award-winning Screenwriter: Celia Alturas
Producer: Celia Alturas
Original Music and Songs: Celia Alturas (voice), Jenna Mahon (fiddle), and others TBC
 
 
Celia Alturas was inspired to write what has become The Flight of The Bat while she, (like all of us) was in isolation during the early stages of the coronavirus pandemic.

The likelihood that the virus came from the bats, and  the fact that many bats were being massively killed in some places because of that suspicion, brought up many feelings and thoughts within her, that translated into an idea of a metaphorical story, suitable to be told through an animation movie.
 
Whilst writing it, the main theme song of the sound track emerged right away in her ear, so  the will to compose the music  became clear.
 
The story turned out to address the perspective of what can inspire human beings to change in challenging times, and the benign symbolism that can be perceived amidst a catastrophe, transmitted through metaphorical images along with the sound and lyrics of an original song.

After having completed it, she researched the symbolism of the bat and immediately saw it well matched her idea: they often represent death in the sense of letting go of the old and bringing in the new. They are symbols of transition, of initiation and the start of a new beginning.
  
It didn't take long until she found an amazing award winning Director/Animator as well as musicians, who believed in the project and wanted to work in it.
