*Silver Dust* is a poetic short film exploring solitude, ritual, and transformation. it follows a lone woman as she methodically stretches white strings across her surroundings, weaving an enigmatic pattern. Her actions, both deliberate and instinctive, blur the line between creation and entrapment. With a balanced, natural contrast and a meditative pace, *Silver Dust* invites viewers into a hypnotic experience where meaning lingers in the spaces between motion and stillness.

That - ‘I wanted to be more than scattered dots in an empty sky’ - hit me so hard. I’ve felt like that. Her tying threads felt like trying to hold yourself together when you feel like falling apart.

Angel Pelé

A stunning interplay between choreography and philosophy. The act of tying thread becomes both metaphor and movement - existential and geometric.

Giacomo Rodriguez

Silver Dust is a minimalist trance. The threadwork reminded me of ritual performance art - Marina Abramović meets Tarkovsky’s stillness. So much is said in the pauses, in what is not said. Pure ambient cinema.

Antonio Domingo

I got lost in this film, but in a peaceful way. Her movements, the voice, the quiet music - it felt like watching someone think out loud with their hands. I didn’t understand everything, but I really felt it.

Ethan Wong

Formally restrained yet conceptually expansive, ‘Silver Dust’ is about motion as thought and stillness as resistance. It questions whether meaning is something we build - or something we survive. Deeply resonant.
