The Last Page of Troy

Title: The Last Page of Troy
Duration: 5 min 7 sec
Genre: Experimental / Art House / Philosophical Cinema
In the quiet of a library, a lone woman discovers an ancient copy of Homer’s Iliad. As she turns its pages, the line between past and present blurs. Shadows of Achilles, the looming Trojan Horse, and visions of fire and destruction awaken.
Is history merely a record of wars, or does it live in the silent betrayals within us?
The Last Page of Troy is a poetic meditation on pride, knowledge, temptation, and the recurring cycles of human conflict.

Director Statement

The Last Page of Troy is not a literal retelling of the Trojan War. It is a reflection on the quiet forces that shape civilizations—the choices we overlook, the temptations we ignore, the betrayals we carry within ourselves.
I wanted to explore how history is lived as much in thought as in action. By juxtaposing a library, the Iliad, the Trojan Horse, and the imagery of fire and destruction, the film invites audiences to consider how pride, knowledge, and human desire can become both creation and destruction.
This project is an invitation to pause, reflect, and confront the hidden patterns within our own lives—where the horse is never outside the gate, but always waiting inside the quiet.
