Metempsychosis of Objects Metempsychosis of Objects

Director: Salvador Maldonado

Year: 2005

An enormous stone rests impossibly in a studio while a sculptor struggles to extract a figure from it. Soon the artist realises that he is not alone and he is drawn into the shadows where he discovers a parallel studio to his own. There he is faced with his own future creation as his memories, fears, illusions and betrayals become real. During the course of events he turns into a spectator of his own creative process, to discover that he has been assimilated by his work. The line between creator and created vanishes.

A drawing of a girl in a forest by a pond, above it you can see the title 'A Time Before' A Time Before

Director: Leo Metcalf

Year: 2024

Olly sifts through his memories searching to understand why he is the way he is. The narrative swings between two contrasting worlds: his memories of his first years, captured by his childhood drawings, and surreal underwater live-action scenes representing his dreams. We witness fragmented memories of a torn family - an abusive father, a mother whose memory seems faded, and a sister, Sally, encouraging her little brother to escape through imagination and dreams. As memory and fantasy blur, The Time Before becomes a meditation on the stories we tell ourselves to survive, and what is lost in the telling. Official Selection Aesthetica Film Festival 2024
