Amidst a cold war between nature and technology, the lives of four young adults take an unexpected turn as the memory of a shared childhood experience resurfaces, revealing to them a disturbing secret.

Cyber Melancholia is a modern fairy tale about a young generation that possess the ability to experience the world's collective emotional state in indescribable intensity and visual form. Older generations call it a blessing, yet youth themselves call it a curse.

The CYBER MELANCHOLIA Project is aiming to create a feauture film through the progressive collaboration of artists from different fields, who meet while facing the same condition: a collective sense of melancholy, triggered by a planet on the verge of destruction. Filmmakers, musicians, scientists, painters, digital illustrators and generative artists join forces to translate the idea of Cyber Melancholia. Our vision is to overcome classical genre boundaries by exploring sci-fi through a playful lens. Music, fine arts, code based art and film meet to form an otherworldly symbiosis.

A Cyber Melancholia proof-of-concept trailer, shot in November 2021 premiered at Drink & Draw Berlin (Funkhaus). The trailer presents a first impression of the story (created by director-dp duo Andjani Autumn and Ivarr Jacobsen) and the original film score (composed by Lukas Brehm).
