Lens

Lens

Short film

Director: Thomas Hanham

Producer: Nina Georgieff

In a conformist world where everyone wears the exact same pair of spectacles, a woman starts to question the peculiarity of her society and finds an illegal opportunity to see things differently... and dance.

The world of Lens is filled with people afraid of the unknown and limited by their perception. Now in an unprecedented film landscape, the stories audiences will want to watch is of intrigue to all creatives. We were aware a dystopian story would feel too close to home, but this story is not about changing realities, breaking bureaucracy or physical liberation.

This story is a coloured whisper, a gentle reminder to audiences of a place that already exists, a place we can often forget, a place that belongs within. This story aims to refresh an audiences’ perspective, to remind them that there is hope and light, no matter how dim and despairing our world may seem, something that rings true now more than ever… 

All it takes is a choice, a different perspective, a new lens.
