Begotten

• Fantasy
• Horror

A stark, black-and-white descent into primordial creation and destruction, *Begotten* visualizes a fractured genesis myth – not of a benevolent deity, but of a violently overthrown “God” and the birth of the natural world from his suffering. Shot in deliberately degraded, grainy footage evocative of ancient, decaying photographs, the film eschews narrative in favor of a visceral, ritualistic experience. It presents a world steeped in unrelenting brutality and a haunting sense of desolation, focusing on themes of cyclical violence, forced creation, and primal motherhood rendered through shocking, symbolic imagery. This experimental work isn’t concerned with storytelling but with evoking a profound sense of primal fear and the grotesque beauty inherent in creation through suffering, challenging viewers to confront the darkest origins of existence.
