Downbeat

A melancholic, experimental short, Downbeat fuses archival British footage from the 1970s and early 1980s with a 90-second audio sketch composed 15 years ago. Randomized yet carefully paired visuals echo the loops and rhythms of the soundscape, creating a hypnotic meditation on memory, nostalgia, and the fleeting passage of time. Through fragmented glimpses of daily life, the film evokes longing, melancholy, and a sense of mono no aware, offering a brief but resonant journey into the emotional textures of the past.
