F.O.T.O.G.R.A.F.
A grim, philosophically dense sci-fi survival film set in a post-catastrophic anomaly zone, blending literary and cinematic influences into a meditation on human agency against incomprehensible forces.
A short film based on the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. fictional universe, combining the “Picnic to the curb” of the Strugatsky brothers, “Stalker” by Andrei Tarkovsky and the “Exclusion Zone” location around the Chernobyl NPP. According to the scenario, an agent of the peacekeeping forces, nicknamed "The Photographer", arrives in the Zone to prevent a global scale catastrophe, which could be caused by an experiment that went out of control at a scientific lab.
