Vladislav Knežević / Croatia / 2025 / International Premiere / 24 min.


synopsis

Pastel colours of endless horizons and illuminated forests alternate with shots of abandoned hyper-designed nests and high-tech hubs. Post-organic digital dreaming develops a nostalgic memory of a landscape once inhabited by beings capable of emotion. The “negatives of darkness” are inscribed with poetic miniatures by Vladislav Knežević, quoted in various languages. This slow-paced post-apocalyptic vision is filmed with infinite tenderness.

The spawn of light machines
For the one of weak essence 
On the edge of shattered horizons  We disintegrate in many fragments From now on
