I Bleed
Alternative title: Sangro

Directed by Bruno H. Castro, Guto Br & Tiago Minamisawa

An intimate confession of a person living with HIV.
HIV is introduced here not as a death sentence or moral lesson, but as a rupture in one man’s sense of who he is. I Bleed is an animated short film that mixes drawings, collage, old books and imagery from Bosch to visualise fear, stigma and eventual self-reconstruction. The shifting techniques could have become chaotic; instead, they give the confession a pulse that feels personal rather than educational.
