MY OWN

About This Movie

MY OWN is a striking short documentary that dives deep into the life of a young refugee navigating the often harsh realities of seeking asylum in a foreign land. The atmosphere feels heavy yet intimate, capturing both the beauty and desperation of Venice as a backdrop. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to really absorb the emotional weight of the journey. The performances, particularly from the young subject, are raw and genuine, reflecting a range of emotions—fear, hope, and resilience. What really stands out here is the experimental approach to blending documentary and music video elements. It creates a distinct rhythm that enhances the storytelling, making it feel both personal and universal in its themes of displacement and longing.
