‘A young struggling artist, with support from her family, encounters mysterious woman who soon replaces her whole world'
WHY ANANKE
Ananke is a 25 min short film, which artistically depicts addiction through metaphorical personification as a mysterious lover and friend, Ananke. The relationship that the protagonist, Juliana, builds with Ananke mirrors the abusive relationship that one can have with substance abuse, where the euphoria is so dazzling it replaces ambition and independence. In the short film, we explore how one, who suffers from a lack of support and loneliness, can give away everything to feel wholesome.

Ananke is inspired by real events, however, here I felt I wanted to explore more about how drug addiction feels, instead of the consequences; We wanted to portray a story about abusive relationships, the strength that people can find in themselves once they realise they are close to irrevocable consequences. This piece intends to motivate and support those who suffered or might be suffering from drug addiction.
