What is the film about?

The film is a personal and experimental dive into the confusion and anxiety of facing unexplained vision loss. It’s a mix of medical chaos and childhood memories, exploring fear, beauty and the deep appreciation that comes with realising what sight really means.

What influenced it?

I’ve always been drawn to experimental films, for their poetry, their ambiguity and the questions they leave behind. I wanted to create something that would last in the viewer’s mind, inviting them to reflect on the nature and value of vision, and perhaps even question how they perceive the world around them.

A little background information...

About two years ago, I began what would become a long and confusing medical journey to understand why I was experiencing vision loss. I thought a lot about what would happen if I had to lose the most important sense I have, and it became an obsession and my greatest fear all at once. This film is my way of processing a time filled with fear, confusion and unanswered questions about my vision. Through chaotic visuals and quiet moments of beauty, I wanted to share that journey and offer a different perspective on something we often take for granted.

How was the film made?

The film combines 3D animation and collage, layered with dense and intentional editing. This hybrid approach allowed me to visually represent the fragmentation, distortion and emotional depth of the experience in a way that felt raw and authentic.
