THE MESS
EUTERPE • 14m
A journey to the threshold of a utopian labyrinth. We follow the perspective of a solitary woman who descends into an abandoned subterranean arcology. She is tasked with cleaning up the mess that has spawned from this feral structure, becoming lost in the process.
It premiered in 2016 at the International Film Festival Rotterdam and has since won numerous awards including the Grand Jury Prize and Critics Choice Award at 25FPS and the Grand Prize at Supernova Digital Arts Festival.
