Future project: One minute short film «Dada» (US, 2024) Synopsis: "Dada" is a one-minute experimental short film that immerses viewers in the chaotic and provocative essence of Dadaism. Directed and produced by Kostiantyn Mishchenko, the film reflects the avant-garde movement's core principles: irrationality, cynicism, and the rejection of traditional aesthetic values. Born from the aftermath of World War I, Dadaism denounced the rationalism and logic that led to devastating conflicts, advocating for a radical deconstruction of established art forms. This film captures the spirit of Dadaism, serving as both an anti-war statement and a critique of bourgeois norms, aligning itself with the radical leftist ideologies of anarchism.

How We Made Noise with Make News When we set out to launch "Make News, Make Noise" Season 1 Showcase, our goal was simple: be unapologetically indie, painfully authentic, and speak directly to an audience we know—our people. The creators who aren’t afraid to fail fast, start over, and make the kind of art they *want* to make. We had to get real about our resources, so we bootstrapped this campaign video and leaned all the way into what we do best—telling honest stories with impact. It’s here that Zanah Thirus came in and gave our direction sharp focus. She dropped one line that became the seed for the entire campaign's manifesto: "Real indies deserve the big screen." That line was the game-changer. It wasn’t about trying to be more than what we are, but about leaning into our indie identity with purpose. Our strategy was never to over-promise production value we didn’t have, but to speak to the heartbeat of our community. We’re tired of the artificial, copy-paste narratives, and so is our audience. We’re speaking to the storytellers who define culture, not the ones who mimic it. Out of that came "Paper Route", our campaign manifesto led by Jordan our Creative Director (who is truly the coolest older Gen Z lol). It's a rallying cry for creators like us—hungry, creative, and driven by purpose. In every city, on every block, there’s a story waiting to be told. And we’re ready to fill the streets with stories that matter. Real indies deserve more than just the big screen—they deserve the respect of the industry. Check out the our manifesto Directed by Jordan (Smith / St. James), and blessed by Production Coordinator Andrea Tangelo, and the Queen of Niche Copy Lauren Grant, and our designer Ashuni Perez and follow along because this is only the beginning. Special thanks to our friends at Seed&Spark, NextFoundArtist, Kinema & The Black TV & Film Collective. Did I mention that this is 100% women-led? Welp. #MakeNewsMakeNoise #IndieFilm #RealIndies #AmplifyVoices #CulturalStrategy #CommunityDriven #FilmCampaign

 📣🆕ENC Analysis is out 👉🏽 “Film festivals and cities: A view for south-eastern Europe” by Dr. Eleni Sideri, ENC Academic Council Member and Assistant Professor at the Department of Balkan, Slavic & Oriental Studies of the University of Macedonia. In this ENC analysis, Dr. Sideri examines how film festivals in the southeastern European periphery contributed to the transformation of #Thessaloniki🇬🇷, #Sarajevo🇧🇦 and #Tbilisi🇬🇪 into regional film centers. The paper studies the ways film festivals, especially film markets, became a tool for cities to address economic and political challenges raised within the framework of #Europeanization 🇪🇺 but also, how the past through cultural memory seems to entangle with these changes and become an important factor for the transformation of these cities.

As the start of a new trilogy, this film is certainly a worthy successor to the previous set of films. But whilst there are nods to the notion of the long dead Caesar, there is certainly no need to have seen those films to understand the concept of what he stood for, and there is clearly the anticipation that new audiences can come into it with fresh eyes; just know that in this dystopian world, 300 years on, the apes are in charge and the humans are an endangered species. There are certainly some areas where a suspension of disbelief on the human characters may well be required, and there are some nice, retro easter eggs, but it has much to say about the way we currently live in the world, which is not, at the moment, a particularly harmonious one, and it leans into even a level of quite chilling semi-religiosity. The effects are breathtaking, as we have come to expect, and the authentic and realistic representation means that the ability of the ape characters to engage the audience emotionally is beyond any doubt.

Death is the result of man's primary desire to be, it is through death that the world of human meanings emerges in different cultural contexts death arises from the world, a widespread darkness and drowns man in himself.
