Anomalia

This sci-fi nature documentary explores the concept of anomaly. Initially seen as rare deviations, certain species thrive when environmental conditions suddenly shift in their favor. Through multiple cycles, the film questions our perception of difference: is an anomaly truly an anomaly?

Guided by a voice-over narration in the style of a documentary, the film takes the viewer on a journey where the impermanence of life challenges the very notion of normality and abnormality.
The film adopts an hybrid documentary form, integrating an aesthetic exploration of anomaly through the very medium of AI—an anomaly generator itself. The ever-evolving, artificially generated fauna and flora blur the lines between reality and fiction, reinforcing the idea that what we perceive as an anomaly is often a matter of perspective and perception.
