Symmetry
Director
SYMMETRY is a dance-opera film shot inside CERN, the largest experimental particle physics facility in the world. With the cathedral-like majesty of the Large Hadron Collider as his theatre, a modern physicist searches for the smallest primordial particle and discovers a love without end. SYMMETRY UNRAVELLED is the accompanying documentary about the collision of art and science in the world's largest machine: the particle accelerator. Complementing the dance-opera film SYMMETRY, a common curiosity at the crux of man's fascination with the unknown is revealed.
Forbidden Eyes
Fernando considers himself an alien who may die when someone looks him in the eye. An innocent expression like 'I saw you watching, you know' is lethal now. A metaphor for the vulnerability of a boy in relation to the girl he is in love with.
