We invite you on a journey into the realms of the subconscious where you will question the nature of reality and perception. Disappearing is a short film that takes you into the realms of the subconscious and gives you the impression that, just like in dreaming, you have generated the images yourself, even though you don't know why. The film explores the claim of material reality, that matter is just a vibration of energy, that reality is not as we perceive it and that there is much more that we don't see.

Montana is a short experimental narrative that explores the relationship between two girls. Using found footage and other recordings, a story is told in which puberty, longing, and curiosity are intertwined.

Imagine a dream-centric world. A world more focused on inner than outer. A world where reality begins in dreams. The writer Jane Roberts dreamt of such a world. In the 1970s-80s, she published a series of best-selling books collectively known as the “Seth Material”. Drawn from these texts, and filmed in the house where she lived and wrote, this is a nocturnal meditation, an oneiric exercise, a dream seed, a primer for the movie your mind will make when you go to sleep tonight.
