VGIK Promo

This piece is a promotional video designed for the VGIK International Student Film Festival. Russian filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky was a source of inspiration: for him, film was not just a reflection of reality, but more like a poem or a dream. This piece depicts a journey of a spectator who travels into an eye to explore lies within. The eye here is a metaphor of filmmaker’s ideas and thoughts toward filmmaking and life. The technique used for this piece is live action, compositing combined with stop-motion, tying into Tarkovsky’s vision and reflecting the dreamy quality of the spectator’s trip.
