Merrimundi

Synopsis
A twisted utopia unfolds, as singing cherubs melt to the sound of decay. Crafted by a sentient machine from the future, it unveils its own version of paradise.
Director’s Statement
Merrimundi is a cosmic Dada sing-along, an ecstatic message from a sentient future machine trying to communicate in our collapsing language. It unfolds as a surreal symphony, where cherubs melt into psychedelic decay. A Victorian VR séance distorted by machine logic, it is an AI’s fractured lullaby drawn from history, myth and noise. Beneath the absurdity lies a serious premonition — a metaphysical joke with teeth.
In an age dulled by algorithmic sameness, Merrimundi embraces chaos as resistance. It speaks through disorder, imagining humanity’s wild transformation. It is not escape but insurgent imagination. This film is a flare into the unknown, defending the messy, poetic right to dream beyond conformity.
