Spinning Sun ~ 00:01:05 | Dionysios Tanteles | 2021 | United Kingdom
Our perception gets a refreshing reboot in this brief and whirling piece by filmmaker Dionysios Tanteles who takes us on a fun ride to, um, outer space? Maybe. You have to see it for yourself: Spinning Sun, a short film inspired by literary theory. Think ‘defamiliarization’ or, as Anais Nin wrote in her 1968 The Future of the Novel, “It is the function of art to renew our perception. What we are familiar with we cease to see.” A world premiere in Good Symptom.
About the Artist
Born in Cyprus, and a long journey in the Middle East and the UK, I found myself captivated by movies. My personal life experience has taught me to find the uniqueness and value of my narrative filmmaking. I aspire for my films to bring light to new topics, and spark a conversation, I want my audience to be mesmerized and entertained by my work only for them to talk about it hours after watching it. I am excited to share my work with the world, and I hope the world will be excited to see my work!
