(2022)

Students is a documentary hybrid that follows a group of art students as they navigate the emotional and creative struggles of self-expression. Through candid interviews, behind-the-scenes footage, and reenactments, the film captures the challenges they face as they present their work to peers, professors, and the world. The students open up about the harsh, unsupportive comments they receive—rude and dismissive remarks that often undermine their confidence and challenge their artistic visions. Despite the negativity, their passion for creating remains unshaken as they confront not only external judgment but also their own inner drive to share their truth through art. Students explore their commitment to studying art, showing how, despite the obstacles, their choice to pursue this path is driven by a deep-seated need to express themselves and connect with the world.
