A Mere Night - Experimental Short Film

A short experimental movie about the nightmare of a little girl. She and her pet, a frog, experience a tragic night and thunderstorm.

The movie combines linear and non-linear forms of cinematic montage, exhibits symbolic and surreal images within and beyond the nightmare. Inspired by the aesthetic of artistic horror movies. Expressive sounds and music emphasize the ominous atmosphere.

Created in an Experimental Film class during my B.A. Film + Motion Design studies at UE Germany. I have created this project all by myself in 2019. The film includes my own recordings of a tropical frog, insects, metal objects and of lightnings happening in front of my house during a stormy summer night.
