„It is sometimes an appropriate response to reality to go insane.“ – PHILIP K. DICK
Synopsis
In the vertical skeleton of an aborted and abandoned megalopolis, a man stands on the edge of the void. The only escape from this forsaken place is through the depths of the unknown…
Idea
The main motivation behind this short film is to create a movie that has a strong visual narrative and yet leave the audience free to understand it in their own way.
More than free interpretation, the film balances itself between multiple meanings and ideas and ultimately forces the viewers to make their own choices. This involvement, this tipping of the balance engages the spectators and from the scope of themes addressed in the film let them shape the story in their personal way.
After many months of hard work, we are very happy to share this film with you.
Director: Julien Vanhoenacker
DOP: Pete Pithai Smithsuth
Music/Sound: Nicolas Vitte
Starring: Alex Winters, Markus Waldow, Adriane Maiolino, Anastasia Shevchenko, Ann Krav
Produced by: Claire Teng, Ankit Laxmi Vajpayee, Honey Sarinnaree Khumaiumcharean
1976 by Aggressive
1976 meditates on presentiment and sound. The surreal short crafts an unsettling atmosphere of foreshadowing and immanent change. A clever combination of live footage and CGI, the film allows its soundtrack to drive the visuals. Everyday objects reverberate, twist and react to an oncoming pulse of events as they converge on a farmhouse lost in rural America.
A film by Aggressive, The Loop & Echoic.
