Anonymity

It’s as old as the trees but how do we as humans deal with fear, prejudice and oppression? Anonymity explores the notion of fighting back. Taken from the anonymous words of many who desire a fair world, Anonymity uses image, sound and mood to explore courage. As fear compels us to ‘hide’, to remain 'anonymous', this film explores how fear can add to oppression. It examines how hiding in the shadows can only add to a sense of siege and psychological abandonment. Yet, a tacit rejection of violence by demanding love and respect can empower us to confront our fears. Anonymity takes us on a journey of visual imagery that encompasses nature by traversing us through urban landscapes, suggesting our individual existence is nothing more than a fly amongst millions of flies. A moody soundtrack and narration exalts us to fight back against evil, via religion or conscience, stopping just short of social revolution. Ultimately though, Anonymity exposes our fear of violence and implores us all to possess the respect and humility that comes from love.
