Eos

2022 · 5 min

A brief, dreamlike and visually striking allegory that feels introspective and quietly defiant, asking you to sit with its symbolic weight rather than follow a plot.

Wessel van Wanrooij, Razan Hassan
Overview
In a dystopian world where an oppressing system forces people to wear masks, a young rebel finds a way to liberation through reconnecting with herself. Freedom is fought with oneself, not with the world, is the esoteric message of this visually stunning short.
