Experiencing Interruptions?

Break Out!

Synopsis:
Once upon a time a spiritual being prisoner of a virtual world.
Troubled by his perception, stranded in illusion, he forgot the sense of his existence.Then began a new era, despotic and obscure. Being oppressed, he got thrown into an arena arbitrated by an artificial entity.
A protocol was then dictated by a shadowy cult: if he lost, he would be reduced to slavery for eternity; if he won, he would then be freed, precipitating the earth into a new paradigm.

Break Out!
Inspired by years of work on consciousness and opening oneself, plus with the new era we are now going through, I came up with this version of the project. it actually started few years ago, but never been actually concluded. The story has always been about breaking out, but it does make even more sense now to release such a message. So let's say that indirectly, the shadow enlightened me to finish the job.

I also built a real arcade game in my gallery, and intended to make a video with the visuals and a real player being defied by the program. Things got delayed in the end and few months after the start of 2020, it wasn't possible anymore to get back to work, the world being under new type of regimentation.

I hope you appreciate the effort. If the visuals, the rhythm and if the words resonate with you, feel free to share them.

The key lies within us all.

Director Biography - Mickaël Ankri

After his London filmmaking debut NEKROPOLICE, Mickaël's new vision sees the light in 2012, HYPNOESIS [Sleep and Awakening], a sound and vision experience..

Ground breaking video editing, Hypnoesis re-assembled messages and symbols from the corporate world, entirely filmed on the streets of London. The film got completed with Paolo Carnevali’s fascinating soundtrack and stunning melodies.

The feature length documentary, 5 years in the making, conveyed a surreal depiction of the system. An alchemical fusion of thoughts, vision and perception through the realm of advertisement, and which would years later become the foundation for Mickaël’s visionary art gallery WONDERLAND in Pornic.

In 2018 Mickaël produced a new music video : "Il était une fois" (Once upon a time), introducing the White Rabbit on screen interpreted by Maëla Vidal, who stepped on the “Beat of the White Rabbit”.

In 2019 Mickaël releases a new project with musician friends: BEYOND WONDERLAND, a performance fusing between experimental theatre and a musical and mystical experience. The band later on inherited the name Nü Moon (Rebirth).

The year 2020 sees the beginning of a new era, it also sees the release of futuristic video clip "Break Out!" A journey to a colourful and dynamic dimension, an invitation to break through the world of illusion we live in.
