Vanitas
The short film Vanitas combines the theme of subjective perception of time, life values and human impermanence in a whole that depicts two different worlds. The first part deals with the fast and bustling way of living in modern developed countries, especially the city life. Consumerism dominates this reality, its participants are led to constant productivity and life in an endless cycle in which we sometimes tend to lose ourselves. The second part contains an insight into the beliefs and values of a person who has already lived a substantial part of her life and reflects what she has learned during her journey. This person is my grandmother. In an interview that accompanies the second half of the film, she talks about her priorities and the things that are important for her happiness and satisfaction with her life. What seemed important in the past loses its significance and what was taken for granted gains great value. Vanitas does not try to make a statement bur rather encourage the viewer to stop at the present moment and think about their own way of living or the path that they have chosen to walk on.
