Ball of Yarn = Trust, Shadows, and Valise weave a cinematic tapestry of fragile threads — of trust, memory, and love tested by forces beyond control. Through delicate animation, haunting imagery, and childlike perspectives, these films trace what is carried, what is lost, and what endures when home, family, and certainty are torn apart. They move between abstraction and narrative, creating intimate, poetic spaces where vulnerability, resilience, and the human instinct to hold on are rendered with quiet, piercing intensity. Together, they offer a meditation on connection, memory, and the fragile beauty of endurance.
Artist bio:
Olga Niekrasova, an award-winning Ukrainian director, screenwriter, and visual artist, works across film, photography, poetry, and mixed media, merging cinema, installation, and performance into boundary-defying experimental projects. Her practice blends visual and auditory elements with lyrical, socially resonant themes, exploring trauma, resilience, and human connection through immersive, sensory experiences. Across international cinemas, galleries, and cultural forums, her projects transform personal and collective memory into layered, non-linear narratives, where image, sound, and emotion intertwine to create haunting, poetic worlds that linger long after the screen fades to black.
