Overview

"Fractured" is a short experimental video collage that combines original synthesizer music with a fast-paced montage of personal footage from the filmmaker’s life. It spans his childhood and teenage years in Ukraine, through his displacement as a refugee, and into his current life in the U.S. The piece is a reflection on the feeling of disconnection from one’s past, the abrupt loss of people and places, the loneliness that follows, and what it means to look back at a life that feels like it belonged to someone else.
