СИГНАЛ (Signal)

Thursday, September 29th, 2011

Maxim Zhestkov recently revealed his newest abstract short film, СИГНАЛ (Signal.) Maxim is best known for his VIVA Rebrand work and his various other abstract, fluid, and surreal films. I love how immaculately detailed he is, from the various particles gyrating to the environment they live in. Everything plays a key role right down to the sound design. Even if his film’s don’t have an immediate meaning, the payoff lies in more their form than any linear story.

Signal plays less with organic form than Maxim’s previous work, but as always it’s open to countless interpretations. Watching you bask in a beautifully constructed world, only Kubrick could have otherwise envisioned. A space station, control center, labratory? Asking these questions you miss the point, the devil is in the details in the truest sense of the word.
