Film Screening Film Screening + Q&A: Thresholds – A Multimedia Study on Transition

What It Is

Thresholds: A Multimedia Study on Transition is a multimedia experience exploring what it means to move through change.

The event features a screening of the original short film Advenire, followed by a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process, including early research, field studies, production choices, and post-production development.

Through film, photography, sound, and visual storytelling, Thresholds shows how multiple creative disciplines can come together to turn an abstract emotional idea into a cohesive experience.

At its core, the project explores themes of transition, memory, place, and transformation, inviting audiences to reflect on the spaces between where we’ve been and where we’re going.

Who It’s For

Filmmakers, photographers, designers, artists, storytellers, creative directors, students, and anyone interested in the intersection of multimedia, psychology, and emotional storytelling.

It’s especially for people curious about creative process and how an idea evolves from early research into a finished visual experience.
