A dreamlike portrait of a city that explores the last urban voids and takes us on a journey through which we discover unheard stories, unseen microcosms, and strange urban rituals.

Director’s Note

Hazy Earth is a dreamy exploration of urban “voids”, their microcosms and strange urban rituals that occur there. Inspired by Tarkovsky’s film Stalker, the film romanticizes and mystifies the non-spaces, as an alternative to the rationalized, centralized and goal oriented society. From the last green urban leftovers, the story transitions towards a more urban landscape, where we observe enigmatic acts of humans and animals. The spaces that at first looked unattractive and not welcoming transform to somehow magical. These interstitial worlds are introduced in a fragmented way, building their universe slowly, mixing and combining fragments in a playful and sometimes humorous way. From these bits and pieces, we deconstruct the space letting the viewer’s mind wander, creating its own parallel world.
