Synopsis:
Through the thick darkness of the tunnel faint monotonous walls vibrate. In the dark distance a ray of light suddenly blinked and a moment later a strong energy burst flies rapidly in front of camera and exists the frame. We enter into abstract and utterly unknown world. Sleepy, almost frosty landscape is echoed by a tower packed with spindle black silhouette rising in front of horizon. Ritual contractions and the buckling choreography of its body invokes white deity from the other realm to perform ritual of transmutation. With a purpose of re-establishing the initial state of profound stillness ritual comes to its end.

Third Law

by Goran Radošević
In a nameless city populated by featureless residents, which are driven by the energies both alien and insidious, revolving equinox of night and day takes place. Swaying between momentum and dullness, that never-changing cycle is represented by the neon commercials, which command every action of aforementioned residents and create their paradoxical and ouroboric reality.

Loa Frida: Loa
2022 16+ 4 min
by Melinda Kádár
Animated music video created for French-Polish band Loa Frida. The song talks about those moments when we’re not entirely sure which way is up. Since the clip had a small budget, we decided to create it as a series of looping vignettes, which add up to create one large, detailed image. Each vignette is meant to evoke some strange sensation that the song is talking about, without being too literal.
