More About This Film
I Will Be A Fish For One Day is a very short 2026 experimental film directed by Angel Noriega. The film presents a fish experiencing an identity crisis inside an aquarium, using the confined environment to explore transformation, self-perception, and the boundaries between the living subject and the world observing it.
Its deliberately minimal premise places the project within experimental cinema, where concept, image, and metaphor are more important than traditional narrative structure. The film was selected for a prominent young-filmmaker program, giving its compact form a strong festival context.
