Experiencing Interruptions?

STANDPOINT

Immutability according to vision is mainly hypothetical, not real.Everything in this mundane world is relative, brings the view that our judgements and ideals are conditioned by social, historical and personal factors, that relativity also determined through loci.
Different loci bring different realizations. Eternal claustrophobic can not reify sunshine living in a compartment, not undervaluing yet missing the perception of another living in an Eden like atmosphere.
Abnormal thing in one certain locus, is normal in different locus. Normality and abnormality are beyond question.

Director Statement

The idea for the film “Standpoint” originated during conversation with two of my friends. The impact of Kurosawa’s Rashomon, Saint-Exupery’s The Little Prince and Einstein’s Theory of Relativity were still fresh inside my mind. That is why I intended to make a film based on different people’s different standpoints. In the inceptive scene, we see some lunatic people’s unnatural activities. Each of them is abnormal in different ways. It becomes evident in the next shot that the previous incident was shown from the point of view of an unnatural insane person. He was thinking all things happening in front of him in his personal way. Then two different observations were shown together, one which is unnatural from one side, is natural from the other side. The pan shot mainly depicted the natural and unnatural prospect of a same person.
