SALTATOR
[2024]

short film

The short film imitates the style of a scientific documentary by presenting a fictional, anthropomorphised bacterium and its invented “dance.” Real microscopic footage is placed in a pseudo-scientific narrative that slowly becomes implausible and confusing.

The aim is to expose how easily authority, scientific language, and AI-generated elements can mislead viewers. The project reflects on fake news, deepfake, and the declining habit of critical observation.
