Out of Body

A visual montage portrait of our contemporary world dominated by globalized technology and violence.

Back in 2012 I had my very first Ayahuasca ceremony and, needless to say, I was terrified. But it ended up entirely changing my life and that of my future family. Which is why I decided to revisit the medicine in 2018, participating in three Ayahuasca ceremonies over the course of one week in Costa Rica, and document the process. In the film, we tackle my personal story of trying to build London Real into a global media and transformation company while also struggling with my own disconnection from friends, family and my own species. We also dive deep into the division and tribalism currently facing all of us around the world.

Avant-Drag! paints portraits of ten drag artists of varying gender expressions and sexualities who take to the streets of Athens to query, problematise and (yes, please!) undermine social strictures.

An introspective journey through the silent language of architecture, "Sensuousness" presents an evocative tapestry of black-and-white imagery. Each frame whispers the essence of space and form, blending the intimate with the expansive. Inspired by philosophical musings on beauty and the tactile experience of the built environment, the film meanders through interior and exterior realms, accompanied by a serene soundtrack. This meditative piece invites viewers to perceive the subtle dance between light, shadow, and texture, uncovering the soul of architecture in a world of monochrome contemplation.

The rise and fall of Yugoslavian filmmaker Dušan Vukotić - the only Yugoslav Oscar-winner and one of the founding members of the Zagreb School of Animation - uncannily mirrors the tragic fate of his multiethnic country.
