A selection of experimental short films that push boundaries on form and style. Embrace getting out of your comfort zone.

In a world incessantly proclaiming its own "truth" and setting boundaries on possibilities, the old man's journey underscores that sometimes, tuning out dogmatic authority can unlock genuine freedom. For in doing so, one might discover that the impossible becomes possible. A metaphor for our creative journey as filmmakers in redefining cinema in our digital age, RESONANCIA was made under the guidance of Apichatpong Weerashethakul at the Creator's Lab 2023 in Yucatan, Mexico.
