Synopsis: Icarus adjusts to his life as his new medication splits him in two.

Submitter Statement:  Icarus is a surrealist experimental film speaking on mental health and the effects of medication intended to help. The internal struggles of Icarus are given to the audience through all aspects of the film. The music was inspired by Burmese orchestral music played for a Burmese deity called Ko Gyi Kyaw, who is labeled as a spirit representing euphoria from addiction and greed. The animation portrays contrasting feelings of euphoria and discomfort with inspiration from Alice in Wonderland, the African Thinker, and the story of Icarus himself.

Synopsis: On the verge of sleep, two young sisters find themselves facing the fear of war. Imaginary characters come to their aid: a turtle, a spiky hedgehog, a missile, and a tooth fairy that doesn’t really exist. Their mother does everything in her power to stop their loss of innocence but discovers that the task is more difficult than she imagined.

Submitter Statement:  This is a film about parenting during wartime, inspired on real questions my daughters asked me during the war.
Like any child, they tried to understand the new reality that was imposed on them after the 7.10 massacre. Their questions were innocent and at the same time so painful.
This film offers a poignant glimpse into the realities of war through the perspectives of two young girls, shedding light on the dilemmas faced by every parent in this situation.
This is my debut film.
