KINKI
‘Kinki’ is an abstract animated film that combines the genres of horror and psychological thriller. The main character, a murderer, records images in his mind which he then uses to reconstruct his crimes. This film attempts to contemplate the real objects (set here and now), which are completely different from the distorted images stored in the killers mind. The matter that surrounds this character, and which he knows so well, is unreal and dreamlike thus unrecognizable. The murderer is devoid of any criteria that would allow him to identify and separate his mental image from reality. Then, slowly, fragments of the images begin to come together forming a logical whole, from which we find out that the murderer is also the victim.
