ITALIAN PREVIEW

A fantasy of revenge. A corrupt and defective daydream. A futile attempt to cope with visions of terror… Sunflower Fields Forever!
Scenes from various films by necrorealist director Yevgeni Yufit create a new narrative influenced by the grief triggered by Russia’s recent invasion of Ukraine. A film that was datamoshed with avidemux andprinted with an inkjet printer, leaving the cartridges empty until the colors were defective, and further manipulating the prints with the collage technique. applying water to the ink or using tape to tear off sections of the images.
The soundtrack is composed entirely of sounds found in the films themselves. Like the images, these sounds have also been connected and manipulated.
