DULL SPOTS OF GREENISH COLOURS

War for our attention has suddenly become an actual war. Information technologies appear not just as mere means for somebody’s ends but as something having their agency, as one of the acting forces rendering possible a horrific event, which is very hard to accept and almost impossible to comprehend. We have no control over it and are doomed to scroll through the newsfeed.
Written & directed by: Sasha Svirsky
Produced by: Karsten Matern
Original Score: Andreas Werner
Sound: Andreas Werner
Animation: Sasha Svirsky
Statement of the director:
How is it to be a dull spot of greenish colours?
Would you like yourself to be one of the dull spots of greenish colours, or you prefer to stare at them to scroll them up and down?
What do you hope to find among the greenish spots and dull colours? Is it some great unexpected news that would make you happy or just something that gives you relief? Maybe you want to escape this annoying, itching pleasure of watching them, scrolling them up, while they put you down.
Maybe the only thing you want is never to see them again. Would you prefer these spots and colours to be not so dull and not to be greenish at all?
Production:
Wait a Second!
