A Strange, Ethereal Journey...
vnssyndrome8925 January 2024
This is an odd little bit of art, starring Mark Hapka. A man is having dreams (or are they visions?), of strange beings who call to him, without saying a word. He is drawn to these unearthly creatures, without knowing why. His thoughts are consumed by them, and his life becomes his desire to see them again, just one more time. A chance encounter with a violent man, brings him into contact with them again. Only this time, he can hear their message, and it's live, live your life.

This is beautifully shot, and has a strange jarring effect, but at the same time, manages to leave the viewer with a tranquil feeling. This could be about grief, and being stuck in loss, to the point of inertia. The interpretation is up to the viewer, and if you have a few minutes, and enjoy ambiguous, beautiful art films, I'd recommend this short film. It's available on Vimeo.
