Deep Dive – 2020 -17 minutes and 5 seconds
A wandering of two around a trauma to be faced.
Deep Dive is set on the wild bank of a river where Magda, a young woman, is wandering
around anxiously. An unexpected phone call from her little daughter seeking help gives her
a goal. Magda now desperately wants to be reunited with her child. But the river is impossible to cross. In a moment of helplessness, an unlikely encounter takes place. Magda’s mother comes to her. Magda regains hope and leads their journey through the uncanny thickets and gloomy trees in search of a way across the river.
The mother, enigmatically, keeps observing Magda without helping her. The only way back
lies in their past and leads Magda to a confrontation with her deepest fears and regrets.
Deep Dive was originally a 3D360/VR narrative experience. The S3D version is an
experimental interpretation for 3D cinema made by the director.
