Determination
Synopsis
An avant-garde exploration of the themes of high-art vs. low-art conflict. The film begins with the bleak slideshow of Almaty architecture with the robotic french voice narrating something in the background. After that, the director begins to dance while the texts suggests its own analysis and theories. Finally, the film closes with a visual collage blending footage from indie web series, french new wave films, archival footage of Cannes, and personal footage of milk being microwaved.
