DIRECTOR STATEMENT
With Clairvoyance, I aimed to create an intense sensory experience that challenges and unsettles the viewer. The film follows a young woman plagued by violent visions while navigating the claustrophobic space of the metro. Her encounter with a mysterious man—one who shares an inexplicably violent connection with her—unfolds as a visceral exploration of fear, trauma, and the unknown.

The visual identity of Clairvoyance is rooted in its 1.66:1 aspect ratio, a deliberate nod to the European cinematic tradition and a reflection of the film’s Belgian origins. The gritty, textured aesthetic further amplifies the raw, tactile, and disquieting atmosphere I sought to evoke. This grainy look mirrors the psychological unease of the protagonist, immersing the audience in her fractured reality.

Through this short film, I sought not only to tell a story but to provoke a visceral reaction—a cinematic experience that lingers in the mind and senses long after the viewing.
