Untitled Female-Led Short Film

Hi our names our Zaynah, Claudia and Maya and we are three women currently working on an untitled project that combines an environmentalist message with experimental film techniques. The film revolves around two friends who spend a day at the funfair. As they use up their tokens, conversations about personal dreams and navigating urban life in their twenties emerge and the world around them becomes unrecognisable. Piles of rubbish come alive and they are buried by the crushing weight of the future.

The film serves as a surreal commentary on societal excess, contrasting personal dreams with human over-consumption and the effect this has on the younger generation in the wake of the climate emergency.
