Anticipation of the Night
Documentary
First person view of a man, seen only in shadow, attempting to connect with the world around him.
VIBE
A deeply introspective journey into the shadows of the self. This film feels like a half-remembered dream, a haunting exploration of connection and disconnection. Its preserved, grainy aesthetic adds to the melancholic, lonely atmosphere.
