The Science of Fictions

About This Movie

The Science of Fictions is a curious blend of drama that takes you on a surreal journey. Siman’s encounter with a foreign film crew shooting a moon landing leads to some pretty heavy consequences—his tongue gets cut off, which is a wild turn. What follows is this haunting depiction of life in slow motion, with Siman embodying the weightlessness of space, but tethered to Earth’s harsh realities. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative, which really pulls you into his fractured psyche. The practical effects used for the sequences bring a gritty realism, contrasting sharply with the abstract themes of alienation and identity. Performances are grounded yet haunting, leaving you with lingering questions about truth and madness. It’s definitely a unique piece that stands apart in the indie circuit.
