“Screen” is an experimental film for present tragedies. Broken souls. Atrocious thoughts. A haywire mind. Melancholia at its finest. A seemingly broken tape, with the episodes stuck at a certain place, unable to move forward. Because once you start to stare at the screen, there is no way out. Time ticks superficially slow as you see yourself at down low. And the moment you gaze at the reflection in front is the moment you wake yourself up to reality. Are you still living?
