“Return ” is an opera constructed entirely from a 1968 episode of Star Trek, reimagined through code-generated sound and AI-singers. Rendered in the SuperCollider language, the piece reconstructs the original script and stages it as a surreal audiovisual performance where code, still images, and machine voices converge. A bodiless voice emanates from a dead planet—what follows is a musical drama about consciousness, love, and embodiment. Tuneful, pathetic, and often funny, "Return" is a rendering of a future imagined in the past—a cybernetic ouroboros.

In London, Charlie — a 24-year-old American — meets Archie, a brooding, magnetic Brit whose charm feels like the antidote to everything she’s running from. Their summer romance burns fast and bright, but beneath the intoxication lies Archie’s struggle with addiction — a darkness Charlie can’t see until it’s already wrapped around them both. When their relationship is tested by distance, Charlie experiences a sexual assault that fractures her already fragile sense of self. Told through fractured memories and aching silences, Aftershock traces the fault lines of love, trauma, and dependency as past and present bleed into one another. Set against the shadows and quiet corners of London, the film is a raw, poetic portrait of a young woman caught between who she was, who she became, and who she’s fighting to be — a story of female resilience and the quiet rebellion of survival.

New Year's Eve among friends. Not so much of a celebration, but more of a nostalgia for a bygone era and bygone youth. A holiday devoid of joy, as in the morning, the men are leaving for another hot spot to rebuild a bridge that had been destroyed by war. A sense of duty versus tranquility. Dedication versus harmony. They’re leaving everything behind: love, family, comfort, and of course - a child from Plato’s allegory, who, little by little, is discovering the Sun to show the people that they are living in a world of shadows. How can you live in this crazy world, how can you raise children, how can you be honest and loyal? How do you remain human? Following your own path is the only way! Does God still talk to us? And do we hear him?

Tender Requiem

Tender Requiem is a meditative short film that explores death through the eyes of innocence. In a space between worlds, two quiet angels—one a young adult, the other a child—gently escort children’s souls from life to what comes next. With no dialogue, minimal action, and a transcendental visual style, the film reflects on the soft gravity of parting, the beauty of stillness, and the sacredness of moving on. Tender Requiem is a transcendental short film that dwells in the stillness between life and what comes after. Two silent entities—one youthful, one younger—appear only when it’s time for a child to move on. They don’t speak. They don’t guide. They simply arrive. Told without dialogue, and grounded in minimalist visuals and long takes, the film invites viewers into an experience rather than a narrative—one shaped as much by absence as by presence. “Most of us see what we want to see,” the filmmaker reflects. “Instead, just see what is there.” There are no explanations, no right or wrong answers—just space to witness, reflect, and maybe, for a moment, understand.
