Carefully merging macro photography and VFX into a film he describes as “a love letter to contemplation”, French director Thomas Vanz questions the manic pace of modern life and the fragile nature of beauty.

Thomas Vanz: “Emergence of patterns in chaos or the way we fall in love – true beauty is everywhere.

“Hard to reach, ephemeral and mysterious, or simply hidden from us, revealed in a blink or a few times lasting forever, it shapes our ability to feel, to observe, and to marvel at Nature and other beings.

“But are we still able to do so? Modern life has weakened our eyes, blurred our attention, night skies have been obliterated by the city lights, noise covers silence increasingly.

“Everything is going so fast that it requires a lot of energy to freeze-frame and contemplate what the universe has to offer.

“As a love letter to contemplation, Order & Chaos is an attempt to reveal the beauty we forgot or ignored, how fragile and precious its presence is, and why humanity is progressively losing it.”
