CILECT

A representation of a queer experience. Our protagonist is thrust into a world where she isn't celebrated or even accepted at a basic human level. We follow her and her girlfriend's painful journey through suicide attempts.

An experimental, non-narrative film exploring intimacy and the tension in a relationship between two people as they balance being physically removed and seeking contact, and how this intensifies the emotions they share. The film is exhibited through the lens of four different emotions: love, fear, joy and sadness. These are presented at face value without much explanation. The main focus is on their outward physical expression, both independently, and about one another, without the film having a clear temporal structure, rather presenting this relationship in a single instant and all at once.

A sleeping man’s fading memory of his late Mother unravels through a recurring, hypermnesic dream that reverberates and transforms throughout his life, tracing from his final dream back to his first.

In the solitude of a sterile hotel room, a consultant grapples with conflicting emotions as her burning desire for change collides with the sobering reality of career progression.

Navigating her values, desires, and the barren hotel landscape, she faces a five-year sentence unless she can redefine her future.
