WHAT DO YOU THINK? I almost lost my butt crack

On the day, 10th of April, we get a glimpse of seven people who are stuck in their mind bubbles, and try to break out of them. This absurd five-chapter film lets you reflect on our 21st century contemporary living in a surprisingly philosophical way. It’s an eclectic film that plays with the mix of high and low art.

length: 28.09 min.

Quote from the Jury: "For an anarchic and eclectic approach that manages to form a narrative unit filled with cinematic imagery and ideas."



- Best Scenario – Professional Jury @ Vers Film Festival 2022, the Netherlands
