  • Landmarks of Memory

    A tattoo ritual and hookah session memorializes a pre-war flower shop. After seeing its storefront in archival footage of the Lebanese Civil War, a first-generation daughter seeks information and connection to place. Scenes of 1976 Beirut are paired with today’s developed landscape, while roses are etched and coconut coals burn in a snowy diasporic setting.

  • Messengers

    A poetic exploration of three subterranean telescopes in remote regions of Canada, Japan, and Antarctica that reveal a new way of perceiving the universe from within. Underground, we are dreaming into the earth.

  • FIBERS

    This 15-minute hybrid non-fiction/experimental documentary essay blends Lida Mkrtchan’s voiceover testimony about her time in bomb shelters in Shushi (Artsakh/Nagorno-Karabakh) with a layered audiovisual landscape. The film moves between tactile close-ups of the narrator’s hands preparing zhengyalov bread and staged studio compositions in which objects, textures and performative gestures metaphorically reimagine the narrated events and inner states through dark video tableaux. The interplay of documentary and poetic imagery illustrates the resilience of the community under siege, the rhythm of daily life and the quiet actions that sustain hope. Moments of beauty, ritual and shared labour coexist alongside stark reflections on…

  • Ecopoiesis

    In moments of monstrous pareidolia, all the things that we don’t consider alive form a new world, a world in our image. Ecopoiesis explores the concept of terraforming, reimagining it through the lens of cosmic horror. Blurring the lines between terrestrial and extraterrestrial, the film invites viewers to challenge their perceptions of human impact on an alien environment, as the visual and auditory landscapes evoke a sense of planetary unease. Within its abstract representation, Ecopoiesis delves into the ethical and existential dilemmas posed by transforming foreign worlds by infecting them with humanity.

  • Perplexity

    See the liminal spaces of abandoned offices and adjacent corridors through the eyes of someone who feels at home in them. The entity’s wanderings, punctuated by close-ups of materials or digital surfaces, provide an opportunity for empathy with something that, like us, is looking for a way out. Meanwhile, electronic music, permeated by the fragile vocals of Vaclav Pelousek, embraces the mise-en-scène in an almost redemptive gesture. Perplexity is a journey that traverses the non-human condition, as seen from a non-human perspective. It asks its viewers to seek solidarity with a non-human person. Utilizing a distinctive blend of animation techniques…

  • Artifacts

    Artifacts connects fragments of an audiovisual transmission from a distance. In the fog of the events that unfold, the outlines of actors appear, revealing a catastrophe that they have caused. Artifacts is a speculative fiction film that combines computer animation created in Unity3D with documentary footage from the present day and from the archive. The footage is complemented by a deep fake actress, and AI also entered the film-making process when writing the script – the film captures situations directly proposed by a neural network. As speculative fiction, Artifacts depicts an ecological disaster that seeps from reality into the virtual…

  • spring rebirth / renaissance printanière à la source du Pêcher

    Window on the fleeing memory.

  • Finding Another Entrance, Trying the Same Door

    ‘Finding another entrance, trying the same door’, is an experimental animation that considers drawing, perception, and agnosticism. Abstract images are accompanied by an artist statement-like voiceover which considers these themes. This text, which is written in a personal voice, wrestles with the feeling of uncertainty and hesitation, while recognizing the limited guarantee of leaving these states.

  • Rabid Beach

    This psychedelic and traditionally animated music video for hardcore band Pig Pen was created out of 600 hand painted animation frames.
