Inspire - THE WAY

THE WAY

Pixflow Admin — Tue, 26 Dec 2023 20:18:32 +0000

The Way is a reminder that our plans for the future may not always come to pass, which is why we must treat life as a journey, not the destination: never dwelling on failures but choosing to savor experiences.

“Life is a line we walk on. No matter what choices we make, life always moves forward.

Every step of life pushes us to walk on this line where sometimes we fall.

However, the days spent on this path where it is difficult to keep the balance keep us alive.

Often the goal is to reach the destination but at the end, everything stops.

We who were always looking far away, in an incessant rhythm. Let’s finally take the time to contemplate the path that brought us here.

Because in the end, what counts is the path taken and not the destination.”

The place of this animated short is the city Dnipro (Ukraine). Partly a documentary, through the prism of absurdity and black humor, the film tells the story about a big city during historical changes and decommunization

Hand in Hand

Pixflow Admin — Thu, 11 Nov 2021 09:53:50 +0000

Only a formal handshake separates two politicians from a sealed contract. But as both stubbornly try to gain the upper hand within the gesture, their grim intransigence takes on a monstrous life of its own

All citizens of Earth will recognize its set up: two seemingly benign men representing opposing parties or regions, about to engage in a yawn-worthy handshake signifying peace and agreement. What happens next represents the underlying complexities behind such a simple gesture, relating to ego, human error, and silly red tape. “Hand in Hand” is a smart commentary on governments around the world that will make you laugh at its absurdity and cringe at the fact that this grotesque body horror comedy isn’t too far off from reality.

Sky Breaking Clouds Falling

Pixflow Admin — Wed, 27 Oct 2021 11:40:31 +0000

“sky breaking clouds falling” is a film-essay directed by matvey fiks to the music of folk guitarist mason lindahl

fiks’s patrolling camera and lindahl’s acoustic guitar merge in a melancholy tune and create a poetic statement that resonates with the pandemic and its atmosphere.

a blinding police floodlight shines, similar to the beam of light flickering on and off from the camera. as an unwelcome witness, the lens observes the city streets from a single vantage point – a window of a passing car. breaking the night and the privacy, the film unrolls an epic image of new york on the verge. the city’s nightlife is revealed in fragments, following lonely dwellers, wandering in masks, hurrying away, and escaping under the cover of the sky until it “breaks and clouds fall”. the year 2020.
