Close Enough
Does your relationship provide everything you need? "Close Enough" by Alex Hunter is a deeply avant-garde, experimental piece with a heartbeat of its own, uncategorized, unapologetic, and strangely familiar. It doesn’t tell a story so much as evoke a state: the liminal, ghostly feeling of hotel rooms as sites of suspended identity and fleeting intimacy.
Before My Silence
What can a 100-year old lady tell us? "Before My Silence" by Axel Schilling is a haunting and exquisitely executed short that feels impossibly real, so much so that it’s hard to believe it’s AI-generated. A woman in a wheelchair, facing the sea one final time, becomes the quiet symbol of resistance, memory, and endurance.
The Butterfly Dream
What does it matter what's illusion and what's reality? A dreamy, philosophical short inspired by the Taoist parable questioning reality and illusion. Through poetic visuals and introspective voiceover, the film asks: does it even matter if this is real?
Color of My Garden
What's Frida Kahlo’s life like? Color of My Garden feels like an AI-remake of Frida Kahlo’s life, not in the traditional sense of a remake, but in the way dreams remake memory: surreal, fragmented, reverent, and slightly untamed.
Between Spaces
What connects childhood dreams and the bitter reality of war? A surreal AI-generated meditation on childhood awe, memory, and dreamspace, where plastic toy soldiers march through shifting landscapes of myth and loss. Subtle and stunning.
Robin
What does history say about us? “Robin” by Barney Miller may be a retelling, but it’s no bedtime story. It’s a scalpel, not a sword, cutting through the legend to expose the rotten, human core of power itself.

What can a 100-year old lady tell us?


"Before My Silence" by Axel Schilling is a haunting and exquisitely executed short that feels impossibly real, so much so that it’s hard to believe it’s AI-generated. A woman in a wheelchair, facing the sea one final time, becomes the quiet symbol of resistance, memory, and endurance. Her voice, in German, adds weight and history; the subtitles make sure we don’t look away. 


The performance is subtle, but the tension is profound, especially in the unspoken possibility that she may let herself go. It has the tone of a mockumentary, but the emotional pull of something sacred. Stylish in its stillness and deeply tuned to invisible pain, this is a masterful use of simplicity to say something vast and necessary.
