Marl
Thomas Brand
Netherlands / 2023 / 0:15:37

Marl seeks the deep inner caverns and that which breathes in the dark. A quiet journey to the heart of stone and the unexpected light that penetrates within. The veins of the rock, lost stones, the desolation and small life. Only to leave you there with an ever-changing perspective on this mysterious landscape.

It's about. Of a man, of a panic, of a fury. Of a war. A fright. But it may be something else.

In Necrosis

François Yazbeck
Lebanon / 2024 / 01:18:39

Nécrose explores the post-apocalyptic remnants of Beirut and the remote landscapes of Lebanon. Blending elements of documentary and surrealism, it narrates the other side of the story of Genesis by following a man and a woman who awaken in an underground purgatory, trapped in a decayed post-human world where time stands still. Their journey through desolate cityscapes, abandoned ruins, and murky nature blurs the line between reality and nightmare, taking viewers on a cosmic odyssey of consciousness. As the film delves into personal introspection, it ventures into darkness and insanity, immersing audiences in a visceral and disorienting experience. “Nécrose” is a haunting visual and sensory exploration, inviting viewers to question the nature of existence and to embrace the enigmatic beauty of a world on the brink of collapse. Within the interminable darkness of this temporal landscape, the film becomes an elegy for a displaced spirit, embodied by the director. Like a wandering soul, the camera guides us through a fragmented odyssey navigating the shadows of a post-human realm, blurring the boundaries between reality and the director’s own subjective experiences.
