BEFORE THE KISS

Before the Kiss explores the intimacy, fear, and silence that inhabit the seconds before a kiss. With no dialogue or sound beyond a gentle breath, the film invites the audience to reflect on love, identity, and everything left unsaid. Using AI as a creative partner, the director crafts a timeless sequence of near-kisses that speak to universal longing. The film was the winner of the AI Showcase at the 47th Gramado Film Festival (2025 – Brazil).
