Mykolas Valantinas – Lullaby’s Fault
Lullaby’s Fault is a surreal docufictional short film that tells the story of twin brothers with wild and ferocious imaginations, the consequences of which lead them towards violence and ultimately, tragedy. Alternating between first person POV and a more stylised third person perspective, the film has a destabilising effect where the supposed validity of one comes into conflict with the surreal nature of the other. The narrative follows a metamorphic fairy-tale template where the protagonists undergo internal and/or external transformations. The naive, overwhelming nature of fantasy as a dangerous and explosive energy is expressed through two complementary perspectives: the eyes of a child and his older, lunatic self.
