Synopsis

An experimental short film staged as a dialogue between two non-human entities — a "creator" and its digital creation — in which language and repetition gradually build a shared reality. Made entirely in 3D graphics, the film turns the very process of computer modelling into a visual device, reflecting on identity, power and the authenticity of experience in a world mediated by technology.

Made by a collective of three authors. Guilherme Peters is a Brazilian artist (b. 1987, São Paulo), based in Berlin, working in video, performance and installation around surveillance and social criticism. Matias Mariani, a Tisch School of the Arts graduate and co-founder of Primo Filmes, saw his fiction debut "Shine Your Eyes" premiere in Berlinale's Panorama 2020 and release on Netflix. Roberto Winter holds a Physics degree from the University of São Paulo, lives in Berlin, and makes work that renders the current state of affairs graspable and unbearable.
