EXP. MASC. AD

2026Documentary4mEnglish

An archival short film built from videos recorded in 2011 on a Nokia 5230 during the filmmaker’s high school years, when filming was simply an act of capturing without a defined purpose. Fifteen years later, those images are reinterpreted through editing on a Samsung A26. Through playful and violent fragments, the film explores the adolescent heterosexual masculine experience, while reflecting on the evolution of the mobile phone as a tool that first democratized audiovisual recording and, by 2026, also made editing more accessible.
