The Life of a Chair

Inside a bathroom, a woman dissolves. Not into water—but into identity. Set in an oneiric, liminal space, this experimental short dissects the most banal of routines—eliminate, change, wash—and refracts them through the prism of identity. What do we flush away, what do we conceal with powder and polish, what residue do we scrub from the self? The film doesn't offer answers. It exists in the space between viewer and image, where meaning is slippery and selfhood runs down the drain.

A devastating plague has wiped out half the population of New York City, leaving it in a perpetual state of emergency. After years of lockdown, a young man, Paul, puts on his hazmat suit and ventures into the abandoned streets to meet Justine - a woman with whom he has developed a romance online, but never met. Paul has dreamed about this day, but doing this in reality is something else entirely. Will they be able to overcome their anxieties - and is it worth the risk?

A socially awkward, neurodivergent youth struggles to adapt at a social gathering that quickly takes a turn into the uncanny and surreal.

A love story recounted not by them, but by their belongings and surroundings.

A melodic singer, a man in his underwear, and two people with telekinesis abilities with a saint.

An aloof librarian chooses to reflect on the consequences of her lifelong curse of perpetual luck - a coin with seemingly more than two sides.

An experimental short assembled from YouTube videos of the director’s former classmate, TV fragments, and a 2006 graduation interview recorded in Alchevsk. What starts as an ironic play with early-2000s home-video aesthetics slowly falls apart. Through montage of personal and online material, Chepelev tries to reconnect with a man he once loved – a man whom war and time have made almost unrecognisable. Laughter loses its protective function and gives way to the impossible wish to return to a place that no longer exists.

Collective experimental film by Team 8mm TENGOKU.

Two men who have been friends for quite some time and who live in different cities maintain a correspondence with Super 8 film reels that they occasionally send to each other. One of these film reels shows a woman who reminds the addressee of a former girlfriend. Immediately and without paying attention to his obligations to the company, he drives the company car to the city of his childhood friend, 780 km away. There he finds out that she has been the secret lover of his Super 8 friend for years. After about three or four weeks, which they spend on the coast of another country without any significant difficulties, the lover of the childhood friend rows his boat alone across the Atlantic after an obviously frame-up rescue operation.
