One woman dances, one woman breathes. A woman gasping for air. They both look identical and coexistent. Are these two the same person? Is it someone else? I mean.. where is this?&nbsp;&nbsp; LUNATIC.&nbsp; The movie &#8216;Lunatic&#8217; is a silent monologue that dances the countless events which take place inside the human being, where it is unknown where the dream comes from and where the reality lies. Lunatic refers to a maniac, etymologically arriving from the belief that the Moon can give rise to intermittent periods of insanity, revealing people&#8217;s hidden madness. The scenario inspired from this point of view represents the innermost desire to go crazy under the bottom of human beings.&nbsp; Daily life is a persona trapped in acting, and beyond this daily life, what does our mind desire? Maybe we are just not going crazy in order to fulfill our implicit and intangible responsibilities. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Les Dieux Changeants (2021)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Director: Lucio Arese<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Country: Italy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Duration: 03:48<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Synopsis: Les Dieux Changeants is an experimental short film which depicts the destruction and collapse of ancient Greek and Roman statues.&nbsp; It creates a visually intriguing legacy: the static millenary beauty of those marbles being suddenly put into motion by a physical event, the hit of a bullet.&nbsp; Realized with refined CGI, philosophical and thought-provoking, the meaning of Les Dieux Changeants is left open to interpretation. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NARRATIVE SELECTION &nbsp;&nbsp;| &nbsp;JULY 2021 Horizon (2020) Director: Daniele De Muro Country: Italy Duration: 15:00 Synopsis: In the borderlands, crossed&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9782,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[50,100,101],"class_list":["post-9781","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-yezhemesyachnyye-nominanty","tag-festival","tag-moscow","tag-moscow-shorts"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/moscowshorts.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9781","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/moscowshorts.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/moscowshorts.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moscowshorts.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moscowshorts.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9781"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/moscowshorts.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9781\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9790,"href":"https:\/\/moscowshorts.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9781\/revisions\/9790"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moscowshorts.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9782"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/moscowshorts.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9781"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moscowshorts.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9781"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moscowshorts.com\/ru\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9781"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
