About the film

"This isn't art." The same three words, across 200 years. 1839 - a painter says it to a photographer. 1895 - that photographer says it to a filmmaker. Today - that filmmaker says it to his own child.

Made entirely in Higgsfield for the Higgsfield Global Film Festival 2026 - a $1,000,000 competition judged by Edwin Catmull (5× Oscar winner, ex-President of Pixar and Walt Disney Animation), Phedon Papamichael (2× Oscar nominee, cinematographer of Ford v Ferrari), Alex Proyas (The Crow, Dark City, I Robot) and Paul W.S. Anderson (Resident Evil, Mortal Kombat). Project page: Written, directed and genera
