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.

An unattended chair and pair of binoculars sit atop a sand dune, looking down on a cold, deserted beach. On the shore below, two friends have arranged to meet. Luke, the older man, waits with an urn in his hands. James, the younger of the two, arrives injured, hobbling upon crutches. The plan is simple: spread the ashes of a mutual acquaintance. James, struggling to come to terms with the circumstances around death and consumed with guilt, leads the conversation in a fatalistic direction. Luke reluctantly fulfills his role as the wiser man, attempting to comfort a friend. After an undignified struggle to uncap the urn and a hastily ended phone call, Luke puts his hand in the urn only to find it empty. The implications dawn upon the two men - their acquaintance is not dead. James throws a panicked look to the sand dunes behind; now there is no chair or binoculars to be seen. Luke insists upon giving James a lift to the pub, but James gets no further than the car. Luke is last seen sitting in the driver's seat, distraught, with James' lifeless body sitting next to him.
The everyday city bustel
The main character is an ordinary office worker, living a monotonous life. Work, home, home, work. It is his whole world. 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.
The Chicken

Lakes, highlands and a green plateau comprise the natural scenery for a varied biota to live in. Film directed & music produced by Stamatis Liontos www.LionD-productions.com
The Last Conversation
The film presents to us a single conversation within which several crucial elements are invoked. A friendship that has lasted twenty-four years, international security matters and secrets, and the confession about a person’s identity to his friend, all of them are brought to life within it. As matters come to a head, there is the endeavor to finally offer a moment of high tension as the film's climax. The final result exhibits potential in weaving a story and plot, one that should definitely be explored further. ‘The Last Conversation’, thus becomes a seminal and important first step in that direction.

Creation
CREATION is a poetic short film of opposites: beauty and ugliness, order and chaos, light and darkness, joy and sadness, antiquity and postmodernity, primitivity and the advancement of technology, war and peace, destruction and re-creation, birth/life and death. It is a film about the visibility and invisibility of the conflicting nature of creation in the things and events we take for granted, although ever-present in our lives.

She attempts to clean them, starting with the ones in the house, but she hesitates, unable to bring herself to do it. Caught in the same cycle, she grows weary. Can she break free?
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.

Cava Grande - Crashing
Cava Grande - Crashing is an animated short film created by Tan Tunçağ for his music project, Cava Grande. Set in a vast, barren landscape where water is the only element of fluidity, the film presents an environment dominated by towering monoliths and fragmented statues of women. These statues remain still, yet their fractured pieces drift weightlessly, as if suspended in a gravity-defying space. The muted, blue-toned palette enhances the sense of isolation and timelessness.

Spill a Little Tea
Spill a Little Tea reimagines Delaroche’s The Execution of Lady Jane Grey as a contemporary act of witnessing and resistance. The work draws on the quiet tension of the original painting, transforming it into a space where suppressed voices rise to the surface. “Spilling tea” becomes both confession and revelation—stories once hidden now shared, honored, and believed. This piece stands for women across time who have been unjustly killed, abused, or silenced. By revisiting a historical moment of innocence and powerlessness, the work insists on remembrance, accountability, and the urgent necessity of speaking truths that were never meant to disappear.

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.
