Excerpt from "Sunset" (2023)

Logline:

 

A filmmaker reflects on his hometown.

 

Synopsis:

 

An auto-fictional ode to a city told through archival footage of sunsets, where the images conjure an impressionistic portrait of a borrowed nostalgia.

 

Statement:

​

"Sunset" is a poetic exploration of the idiosyncrasies that define my hometown, where the simple act of watching the sun dip below the horizon becomes a collective ritual. Through a blend of personal narration and archival images, the film meditates on the fleeting nature of time and the memories that linger in its wake.

​

As the film unfolds, its aesthetic language shifts,evealing the artifice behind the narrative. This deliberate subversion invites viewers to question the fine line between reality and fiction, urging them to reconsider the boundaries between reality and artifice when it comes to the portrayal of genuine emotion.
