Āge (2026)
An experimental sci-fi shortfilm melt with the sounds of a compositional genre made from melting ice.
.
Strange-tundra, a style of composition created by Xxhe, an experimental sound artist from San Francisco, utilizes the sounds of the tundra primarily ice in order to create music.
.
This film, began with such music and grew from this point forward. After writing a seven hour rendition opera for their poetta bizarre novel “R`ovsces,” they went onto create the film adaptation . “Age” is a short version of the opera. Set in the same world, in this shortfilm we see a slice and a small taste of the grand grand story of R`ovsces.
.
Age was shot in the eucalyptus forests of San Francisco on no budget with all volunteer artists passionate about the idea and the vision.
.
Xxhe, Brian Arnold, Subei Kyle and Adam Reb Alloy labored to bring the shoots and vision to life.
.
AGE: the story:
D`diyemes, a young genderless alien creature awakens in the forest, alone around an unsual alienic froze campfire with no company. The two they had been travelling with and fallen asleep next to, are strangely missing. The forest winds and appears to grow more and more empty around D`diyemes as they suddenly rise to search for their friends.
D`diyemes searches aimlessly, worried for their friends, confused and lost, only to suddenly find an unusual person with bright white hair, sitting alone in the forest, looking up and speaking to creatures made entirely of light, writing words on their arm. . .
