Experiencing Interruptions?

Endless

Endless "forges a new, radical cinematic language"* rooted in New Wave's storytelling, dark irony and labyrinthine mystery, bursting with queer and transfeminist diaristic echoes.

When lonely, searching for their identity, nonbinary/trans X start a new, complicated affair with transgender Frank, they are drawn into an uncanny game of feelings, which puts their emotions to the test. Relationship with the mysterious M, a collector of beauty and youth, seems like a salvation and the possibility of new beginnings. However opening to a new life imitating art has its price. Is a transition to the other side worth it?

The film builds a visual and conceptual bridge between classic movie narration and uncanny poetic strategies adapted from different visual art forms and mediums: performance, installation, VR/XR and AI engines. In that sense "Endless" dares to reach beyond the known horizons, offering the viewer to look through the eyes of a main charachter trapped in the monumental intrigue of their own desires, longings and irresolutions. "Endless" redefines the spectator's role of a passive "content consumer" and introduces the possibility to engage audience's senses through the mystery of becoming "the other": made of the shattered and forgotten mirror splinters.

Director Statement

It took seven years to finish "Endless". The film was made within the group of nonbinary, transgender, queer artists, sex workers and performers without any institutional financial support. "We made it out to the other side" is a catchy movie tagline, but it also serves as a statement. By making a film about transition from the perspective of trangender person we have crossed the line and settle at the land reserved only for cisgender and heteronormative filmmakers, who are entitled to pick the desired story, exploit and colonize it. With "Endless" we are reclaiming the right to tell our own stories with our own voice and from the perspective of people who actually went through events shown in the film. We are the Monsters, who can finally speak for themselves.
