अन्तराभव (Between Existence) - 4K Remaster

4K Remastered Version. An experiential short film that explores the states between existence. All the pixels have been generated using Midjourney and RunwayML Gen-3 Alpha. Music by Sachin Shrestha.
अन्तराभव i.e. Antara-bhava is a concept in Buddhism/Hinduism that essentially is the state between the living and those who have broken away from the cycle of rebirth by attaining moksha/nirvana. So, it is sort of a purgatory state, if you will.
I wanted to explore this subject with a less structured narrative and more mood and atmosphere and make it more experiential. Works of Bergman, Tarkovsky, Ceylan and the likes have heavily influenced this piece as have the Qatsi series (clearly). I tried using some of my photography stuff as a guide to the image generation process as well.
