“Madeline’s Madeline” and the Exploitation of Actresses
This emotional, frightening, and dreamlike story examines the ways actresses are exploited in the name of art.
Overman
Set in the emotional ruins of the post-Soviet space, this film follows a trans woman through her second year after transition. Haunted by family, silence, and the remnants of her former self, she begins to break free. Thailand becomes her place of rebirth — not escape, but transformation. The film reclaims Nietzsche’s concept of the Overman — not as a cold superhuman ideal, but as a fragile, feminine figure shedding skin through pain, love, and spiritual resistance.
