Theofanis Papadopoulos – Firelight

FILM STUDIES

Theofanis Papadopoulos – Firelight

by Theofanis Papadopoulos

Firelight explores my fear of non-existence after death and that of imagining to no longer interact with an environment. It confronts the characters with the lies they tell themselves, in order to be able to survive in this absurd situation. It is about an awareness and the point of no return, where, confronted with reality, we also become aware of the fact to vainly create meaning in our lives, to make them livable. Thus, we hide from the mortal misery that awaits us every day, as in every room of the mansion. We create meanings and explanations to comfort ourselves, except that being aware of it and accepting this absurdity is equivalent to no longer being afraid of it.
