Depersonalization

Country: BULGARIA Year: 2022 Duration: 7 mins.

Sinopsys: The film interprets the theme of the loss of personality, the so-called "depersonalization" - a state in which the individual loses the ability to feel the image of himself, his emotions, even his body. The world of the film is created through the movement of pigment, paint, fluid by the use of "painting under the camera" technique. The events flow into each other, degenerate in the logic of some irreversible and unnatural randomness. Their metamorphosis collides the evolutionary course with its opposite - the tree grows and buries his crown back into the earth, the world returns to primal matter, the consumer is consumed.

Antipolis

Country: ESTONIA Year: 2023 Duration: 26 mins.

Sinopsys: Some people believe that the Earth is flat. And then there are those who think that somewhere there, under the Crust of the Earth, another civilization exists. The events of “Antipolis” take place in the world inside the Earth. Unlike some of the well informed inhabitants of our civilization, the occupants of Antipolis have no idea that they are living inside a gigantic globe. Getting to know this is a sobering shock.
