  objects hold human
  qualities.

Sock Monster (film)


2022  |  experimental short film (12 min.) 

The short film was developed as part of the ‘Gelderland film pitch 2021’ of Go Short- International short film festival Nijmegen and Omroep Gelderland. The programme included a start budget, coaching and distribution by Go Short. The film has been selected for the international competion of Istanbul experimental film festival and won the KALTBLUT. Award at Fashionclash Festival 2022.

‘Sock Monster’ takes place in a dreamlike world of laundry rooms. A network of washing lines connects the rooms to one another. The ritual of washing and drying alternates until the human being leaves the room. Then the washing machine comes to life. One has a hidden agenda. Single socks are its object of trade.
‘Sock Monster’ is a magical film that explores the phenomenon of lost socks, a world of routines and surrealism, opposing characters and strange twists. An inherently non-narrative film that allows popular culture and imagination to merge, leaving the human out of the equation.
