I will investigate humanism properties from the films created by Michelangelo Antonioni (*Nomadic Forms, *Post-Humanism) using analogue, digital, and colour to learn the basic principles of what makes us human. After my investigation, I will create a folio of the evidence of humanism properties in his screenplay and films.
Brief
The annual research project that I worked on during my senior year at the Rhode Island School of Design.
Idea
The DP is a research project during my Senior Year about Humanism, Post-Humanism, and Nomadic qualities in Michelangelo Antonioni (Italian Director) films and how he captured the moments through photography techniques and facial expressions of the actors.
Finally, I will create my own films that incorporates the humanistic qualities and some techniques I studied from Antonioni's work.

Inspiration
Michelangelo Antonioni – Il maestro del cinema moderno EYE presents Michelangelo Antonioni – Il maestro del cinema moderno, an exhibition about one of the foremost innovators in film from the last century.
Featuring interviews with Jaap Guldemond (director of exhibitions/curator at EYE) and Dominique Païni (curator and former director Cinémathèque française), who explains how Antonioni renewed the grammar of film by thinking in terms of the image and less in terms of narrative. With his famous trilogy L’avventura (1960), La notte (1961), and L’eclisse (1962) – all featuring his muse Monica Vitti – Antonioni became one of the leading directors of the last century.
“A film you can explain in words is not a real film.”

The DP - Trailer
The trailer is called, “The DP”. It breaks down the questions and the characteristics of Post-Humanism with the correlation between Antonioni neo-realism films.
Last Walk
Life sometimes means, ‘not being ’. Existing in a stage beyond being human, Post-Human, allows you either conform to society or not. A critical part of being human is “acceptance.”
Accepting our environment, our decisions, and our emotions can be altered so rapidly that they can become hazardous to us. This video conveys acceptance through space, love, time, and identity.
Pass Wunder
This is the final movie that I created during my senior year at RISD. I wanted to make more movies during the semester, but I dedicated my time into quality over quantity. I created something personal that would capture the attention of the viewers who had a similar time studying overseas.
Many people might think that post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) comes from an adverse event or situation. But, (PTSD) can come from perfect experiences. Pass Wunder expresses how one person could be physically in one place, and their mentality and spirituality can be in another.
