Poster for Идеально отвергнутые

2025 · ★ 0.0 (0)

The film gives voice to porcelain figurines struggling to survive in a world obsessed with perfection. Some never passed quality control, others were chosen but faced unexpected challenges at the hands of their owners. Through confessional monologues, they share their stories - absurd, tragic and surprisingly familiar. Mixing irony with existential musings, the film shows how, in a world where beauty is becoming disposable, the pressure to live up to the ideal only accelerates its own destruction.

Poster for Acetone Reality

2025 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Images cascade and collide in Acetone Reality, as animation, found images, and the artists’ own video recordings crash against a dialogue between computer-generated voices exploring the wonders of acetone and the nature of meaning. Across Sara Magenheimer and Michael Bell-Smith’s teetering montage, blocky pixels, smeared colors, and cryptic iconography constitute an “insane, yet validated reality.”

"Young contemporary history and young tumors resemble each other — both parasitize my prime years." The malfunction of both state and body passes endlessly through the MRI scanner under the diagnosis of a prologue without a main plot. A single film never begins; instead, opening scenes pretending to be from different films repeat schizophrenically. This anxiety, named the invasion sense, constructs a complete reality through unexecuted directives — unrealized wars, uncured illnesses. The film paradoxically addresses a present in which, even without a main plot, anxiety itself constitutes a world, suspended between fiction and reality.
