Change, Reset

The pandemic-born “emo rave”-categorised “Change, Reset ft. PRINCI” portrays how distressed human beings lean on their desire for intimacy and connection on chat apps, without any physical interaction. The personality-training AI chatbot app “Replika” and dating app “Tinder” specifically, became the inspiration for this music video. The First-Person point of view coupled with a “Pokémon GO”-like AR interface fills this journey with sorrow and uncertainty. As the story starts with a user (Sonia Calico) who refuses to update her AI chatbot (PRINCI), she desperately ventures to find the AI partner’s crystal avatar in limited time as the obsolete-version of the world around them starts to fall apart.

Hope

“HOPE” is a film about the encounters between three groups of men and women in a public bath in a corner of Tokyo. The public bath in Japan is a special place. It is a public bathing place for cleanliness, but also a place where the local population can meet and socialise. In addition, land prices in Tokyo are so high that poor people do not have baths in their homes. Public bathhouses also act as a kind of social security system, as welfare families are given tickets for bathing in the public baths, allowing them to soak in a large bathtub at a low price. Public baths attract a truly diverse range of people. Local residents of all ages, men and women, sento lovers, foreign workers, LGBT...... attributes are difficult to see due to the nature of bathing naked, so a community of equals of the socially vulnerable is formed in the baths.

A life in a day. A man in the middle of a pandemic, decides to return home on foot, wanting to avoid the trolley full of people, thinking that with this choice he will be invincible. Omission of the useless moment in the rhythm of the movement. But who knew that on this route he would come face to face with familiar situations of our everyday life that we pretend not to see. Consequence of security situations. Just another biped. A poor ending and the end of a wish. The film was made in the context of the 5th Panorama Film School of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki with the theme DEACTIVATION.
