This is reality.
Short film, 4 min, 2024

This Is Reality delves into the political differences that often arise within family dynamics. The work offers a personal lens on the current European political landscape, particularly the rising tide of right-wing ideologies. It examines the societal and cultural factors that lead individuals toward conservative policies, touching on themes of immigration, fear, and prejudice.

Drawing inspiration from Umberto Eco’s Eternal Fascism, the piece reflects on the notion that fascism may never re-emerge as it once did and on the duality of human nature—the capacity for both good and bad. Through grainy childhood footage, we unravel emotional threads that bind family members even as their political beliefs diverge; a struggle of reconciling differences, inviting the viewer to ponder identity and belief in an increasingly polarized world.
