Synopsis

An experimental short film consisting of different perspectives, referencing genres like science fiction, horror and found footage. A kaleidoscopic vision portraying mankind’s first meeting with alien life, told through faux archival footage combined with practical FX, miniatures and old school in-camera trickery.

Program Note

Is there life beyond the universe? Everyone wonders about the nature of extraterrestrial beings, and what if they actually appear? Perhaps we would feel a mixture of fascination and an inexplicable fear. However, when the thought arises that they might be weaker than us, this work poses a question to the audience: How far can humanity go? This audacious narrative, utilizing fragmented images, feels so realistic that it sends shivers down our spines. (Kristin JI)
