The Encounter
Eszter Szoboszlay
HUNGARY ● 2025 ● 8' ● M/6 ● 2D digital
What happens in a once-friendly apartment complex, now on the verge of a collapse, when the terrified, isolated residents receive a half-blurred message from an unknown sender? Each of them misinterprets it according to their own desires. A playful experience about how a message is shaped by misunderstandings, driven by our emotions, and a reflection on the power of community and togetherness.
