Synopsis: Conscious Life is a silent film which portrays the pain and delirium of love and tragedy. The short is presented as black and white, set in the late 1920s. The film shows a young photographer in his studio, haunted by the obsession of an unrequited love, and ensuing indifference towards his current lover. Waking from sleep in a dream-like sequence, his photograph on the wall and reality confuse their roles. Commissioned as a music video, the film is intertwined with the harmonyous track by Aereogramme.

Synopsis: The film revolves around a little street child who is looking for some food. We see him walking around the city with his only companion the balloon. Through his journey he observes everything that life has to throw at him. Yet he is a child without any worry except one basic need. Food. The film is about materialism and how it has started governing our lives. Our primary needs are taken for granted and we are caught up in a fictitious world glazed with glamour and pride. We cannot look through the tainted glass and even if we can, we pretend to ignore it and push it into the furthermost part of our subconscious.
