Lily, Lily, Lily
Mounir Derbal / Italy / 2025 / 7′
Lily looks in, then jumps. A plunge into the consciousness of an industrial database. The film reconstructs the fictional memories of an industrial computer plant. Mixing the present with the past, an artificial consciousness is confronted with three ways of looking at reality. Photographs, archive and fiction hybridized with rotoscoping and digital reconstructions in photogrammetry help Lily, the industrial software, get closer and closer to human perception.

Q&A with the author
Mounir Derbal
Mounir Derbal (1997) is a writer and director of fiction and experimental cinema. His debut short film, Nel Blu, was supported by the Cineteca di Bologna. He recently completed a trilogy of hybrid short films that blend fiction and archival material: Youcanuselemons, Hard Rain Noon and Lily, Lily, Lily. He is currently developing two feature films: Badland, a low-budget science fiction film that was a finalist in the Biennale College Cinema ’24, and Via di Bravetta, 415, a cross-cultural coming-of-age story set in 2006 between clamshell cell phones and MTV.
