synopsis
In the heart of Athens, a ten-year-old girl, Persephone, struggles to find hope and stability amidst a chaotic and unforgiving world. As she dreams of a way to rise above her harsh reality, she clings to symbols of escape and renewal. Prelude to a Supernova is a poignant exploration of resilience and the pursuit of light, even in the darkest moments.
VISUAL DIRECTION
A direct, raw, and unflinching documentary aesthetic, with a handheld camera that alternates between stoically observing Persephone’s daily routine and frenetically capturing moments of intense plot tension. Dull tones and faded hues, devoid of strong, vivid colors, mirror the harsh realities Persephone endures and the bleak environment that surrounds her.
