SHORT FILM
ONE, ANOTHER (2024) - Short Film
Role: Editor
Digitised 16mm, premiered on NOWNESS 14th August 2024.
Exploring the origins of love and the search for connection, director Gregor Petrikovič delves into the ancient Greek myth of soulmates, portraying humans as once-united beings, split into halves by the gods, and left longing for completeness from their missing counterparts.
Enlisting movement artists Max Cookward and Joaquin Ruiz to collaborate on a part-improvised sequence exploring closeness, serendipity, and human yearning, One, Another unfolds as a visual poem driven by movement – with original music, composed by Jacob "NTHNL" Rudin. Shooting on 16mm film for its poetic, gritty imperfection, Petrikovič captures the dancers’ fragility and intimacy against the New York skyline, reflecting the energy of a summer that serendipitously connected him to Cookward and Ruiz, in a city where narratives of love are continuously unravelling.
