A psychological trip into the traumas of three linked characters.
Assumption #1: Dreams can reflect in a symbolic way the traumas of the dreamer Assumption #2: In dreams, neither the linearity of time nor causality are mandatory
Neither stop motion nor film, this "photofilm" is an experiment to break the linearity of time in a movie, while conveying a specific mood. It's simply composed of roughly two thousands photos.
Written and directed by Jean-Sébastien Monzani
Actors: Lina Taschi (Chapter I and II): Nissa Kashani Ivan Minz (Chapter II): Adrien Barazzone Sylvia Minz (Chapter III): Marie Fontannaz
Light assistant (Chapter I): Jonathan Main Camera, effects and soundscape: Jean-Sébastien Monzani

Really really powerful. Quite disturbing. A great association between photography and cinema. A real masterpiece for me. You have all my support for all your projects to-be.

This was deeply linked to the psychology of the fictional characters, I think that's why it works.
My current photo-work is based on mystery, you'll see it soon.
Cheers!
