Synopsis:
"Deep Imagination" presents a collection of five distinct short films crafted by Studio 4°C, united by a recurring aesthetic and thematic thread. The work unfolds within surreal landscapes populated by ambiguous figures engaged in enigmatic activities – a blend of industrial decay and fantastical elements. Characters are often rendered with striking visual detail, their motivations rarely explicit, inviting interpretation rather than clear understanding. Each segment explores concepts of memory, perception, and the boundaries between reality and imagination through unconventional narrative structures and dynamic animation. The overall atmosphere is dreamlike and unsettling, prioritizing mood and visual storytelling over traditional plot development. Viewers can expect a contemplative experience, demanding active engagement to piece together meaning from fragmented imagery and evocative sound design.
