Blackout Dreams

Blackout Dreams

In Cuba, the nights are very dark indeed when there’s yet another power outage—but as much as possible, life goes on. In dreamlike black-and-white images, the pitch-dark night becomes a mysterious play of shadows, silhouettes, and glimmers.
+10k

+10k

At age 21, Pol has just one goal in life: to make $10,000 a month. Using tips from "finfluencers," he wants to free himself and his family from poverty. Playful AI-crafted scenes show Pol already living out his dream.
The In-The-Head Film

The In-The-Head Film

Are we being swept away in a maelstrom of creativity, or is this the activity of a mind going off the rails? This wildly expressive animation is certainly a remarkable experience—just keep breathing calmly.
