Phantom Aspect

Ucrania - Estados Unidos 2023 | Oleksandr Isaienko | 5 min

Cineteca PUCV

The phantom aspect is a film which is an emotional transfer into the image of the feeling of a phantom siren against the background of a real war/ The idea of the film was born in the very first days of the invasion, when air-raid sirens began to shape our perception of reality. I was deeply surprised by this psychological state: the sirens seemed to echo constantly, even in the silences between real alerts. The film was created in 2023, a year into the war, as an attempt to capture and translate this haunting mental landscape into cinematic form.
