Heaven & Hell
In this film, I’ve sought to create a multi-sensory audit of a world in collapse, bridging the widening chasm between political hypocrisy and our fractured social reality. By centering the film on the recurring motif of a fraying flag, I wanted to expose the terrifying fragility of democracy as it buckles under the weight of human greed. I chose to set this human turmoil against the indifferent majesty of nature—where falling snow and rising oceans serve as a silent witness to our choices. Complemented by Veryan’s haunting soundscape and Liz Helman’s narration, the work stands as a cinematic elegy for the marginalized. Ultimately, it is a poetic reminder that while the powerful debate our future, the heaviest burden is always borne by those least responsible for the crisis.

But although his house is a multi-unit column of text, and the office is a news section in a newspaper, the city itself is a newspaper, life and events have nothing to differ from the most possible, although the news from the more real world is most likely repeated. My film shows the priceless human freedom, its slavery in the social system. I hope this film will give people at least a minute to think about their existence.

Illusory Truth
In a world where future technologies have seamlessly merged with humanity, the boundaries between reality and illusion dissolve. Humans traverse diverse realms, experiencing ever-changing forms of existence as they shift between perceived "reality" and virtual simulations. Yet, unbeknownst to them, even their so-called "real" world may itself be a fabricated construct. From the enigmatic appearance of a crow at the story’s inception to its watchful gaze in the finale, every layer of existence unfolds under its surveillance. This mystical creature symbolises the possibility that both our tangible world and virtual dimensions exist within a higher-dimensional reality—a realm beyond human comprehension. Metaphor In virtual realms, we can become anyone we aspire to be. We are protagonists across infinite worlds, transcending limitations through metamorphosis. If we perceive the virtual as real, it becomes our reality; if we anchor ourselves in the tangible, it solidifies as truth. Every illusion holds truth, and every truth carries illusion. All that is imagined manifests as real, while the "real" dissolves into the ephemeral.

Memories of the Future
"Memories of the Future" is a cinematic reflection on the growing crisis of space debris, blending science, metaphor, and artistic abstraction. The film is presented from the perspective of a child—a future Earthling—who looks back at humanity’s actions with both wonder and concern. This perspective shapes the visual style: everything is slightly exaggerated, much like a child’s drawing, but rendered in a futuristic way. The satellites appear oversized, the debris fields impossibly dense, and the vastness of space feels surreal. It is a new era of storytelling, where scientific reality meets the boundless imagination of a child. At the heart of the film is a seemingly insignificant object—a single bolt. It drifts through space, small and unassuming against the backdrop of immense orbital structures. But its presence is deceptive. The bolt represents overlooked dangers, a silent consequence of human negligence. As it moves through the cosmos, it ultimately cracks a camera lens, distorting the view—a metaphorical warning that ignoring a problem does not make it disappear. Like a tiny mistake that spirals into disaster, the bolt embodies the unintended consequences of human actions. The film’s aesthetic is deeply influenced by classical opera and ballet, using Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7, 2nd Movement to transform the slow-motion collision of debris into a haunting "space ballet." The choice of music elevates the visuals, creating a dreamlike yet unsettling atmosphere where beauty and destruction coexist. By incorporating real audio recordings—Sputnik 1’s signal, abstract radio transmissions, and Earth's magnetic field sounds—the film merges fiction with reality, grounding its imaginative visuals in scientific authenticity. The child’s voice, generated artificially, adds an emotional layer, as if the future is speaking directly to the past.
