- A young man and a boy within him, return to the town of the childhood, 12 years after the genocide. It is Lyrical Soulessencia. 'This cinematic document is truthful and this rare quality makes it extraordinary. While a very personal statement about love and attachment, it answers the terrible question on the lips of far too many people who have experienced loss and suffering: how can we overcome this intimacy with death and learn to see the beauty and joy in the world?' Professor Marcia Langton AM, Indigenous leader and Chair of Indigenous Studies at the University of Melbourne.
- A younger man encounters the old. Both fearful and aware of the impending end. The clock is almost striking 12, it has passed 5 to 12. Celebrating love between two humans they spend time together, until the old one vanishes into the wind.
- A man walking with lantern through a dark stormy night full of thunder and trembling, finds a key to happiness.
- So what's a newly-arrived Bosnian refugee doing in Australia? Making a film, of course, about being stuck in a suburban house. This is a minimalist experimental tour-de-force.
- A man enters the stream of subconsciousness, finding the source of the evil that is existing in the society. The film reconstructs the cinematic form and provides the intense change in narrative cinematic storytelling, through immeasurably intensified rhythm and through the emotional connection achieved via this intensified cinematic language. Though these means, the film attempts to further humanize the viewer showing him the spectrum of life, the evil and also the beauty and with it the further potential of the human himself. "I got to use a word here, that is misused by many people: Devastating, now that word is misused often, it is becoming almost meaningless now, but I want to use it in the sense to say what that picture did to me, I am devastated, I am turned into a wasteland by all that, it's a great film and the world has got to see it, the world has got to see it!"
- A man enters the stream of his subconsciousness, his war memories, dreams, fears and nightmares. With the cinematic language, he dives at high speed from in and out subconsciousness, finding the source of The Shocking.
- A man stands in front of the door he is not to traverse. It is a night by the sea. He speaks from the depths of himself, what feels like a confession, the confession to the present of himself of his memories of himself. Himself before the war, before the ravaging of the shells. Before, when he was a boy, when he ran free. Before the genocide in Srebrenica, Bosnia, where he was born and from where he came. Before, when all he loved were alive. Before he could hear those shells, now exploding gently.
- After a relentless chase through the night, the human realizes that he must stand and fight the evil that has been chasing him all night. He must stand and fight and hope to be the force of the good. He must stand and fight, at the end of that long dark burrow.
- In a dark night, a man alone in his house experiences the nightmare and the reality of the growing fear. On one hand, the invader is real, banging at his door and on the other, the invader is already deep inside of his subconsciousness.
- Out of the storm and freezing night, to a human's door comes a monster and whispers pleadingly: Please, help me. Please, help me. The human is stunned, surprised by the humanity of the voice that he hears. As wind loudly blows outside the door, the two interact, as humans used to do.
- Towards the end of 2019, before social distancing was even a thing, avant garde Melbourne artist and survivor of the Srebrenica genocide Saidin Salkic sat down with his friend, actor John Flaus, for a free flowing conversation spanning ideas around art, ideology and humanity. THE CONVERSATION is a gentle, intimate, intelligent and provoking conversation that feels anachronistic in this overly-digital age, but as important as ever. 2020 marks the 25th year since the Srebrenica genocide.
- A man thinks of the home, in the middle of a storm, the home that was taken away from him when he was a boy. Through the language of pure cinema we watch the storm settle and become the sunshine and warmth. Is it the metaphor for the happiness of the man?
- A man alone, in isolation experiences the extreme anxiety and the psychological tension that helps him achieve the catharsis. The film is a statement on the importance of the human catharsis.
