Elina Mitelman is an independent visual artist and filmmaker working with experimental cinema, music-driven visuals, and AI-based storytelling. Her work explores emotional states, inner conflict, and psychological themes through a personal and poetic lens. She creates short films and music videos that merge technology with human vulnerability and introspection.
My Melancholy was created as a reflection of a long and ongoing inner process. The film is rooted in personal experiences with depression, anxiety, and low self-worth, focusing on internal struggle rather than external conflict.
I chose to work with AI as an artistic tool because it allows visual expression of emotional states that are fragmented, unstable, and difficult to articulate in words. The film does not aim to resolve or defeat these emotions, but to acknowledge their presence and continue existing alongside them.
