doomscrolling (2026)

Doomscrolling

Director: Mila Smetanin

Cast: Veronika Bagdasaryants

A young woman moves through life on autopilot, endlessly swiping through a relentless feed of bite-sized videos. She hops from one platform to the next, confusing constant scrolling with genuine relaxation, while the real world fades into the background. When her battery finally gives out, silence becomes unavoidable—and reality steps forward, rich and breathing. For the first time, she tunes into the pulse of life she had overlooked. A gentle meditation on screen dependency and the quiet wonder of simply being here.
