Reality or Illusion

Reality or Illusion is a poetic visual journey of self‑discovery and enlightenment. Inspired by a Vedic parable from the Upanishads, where a snake symbolizes illusion, the work explores inner fears, illusions, and the path to true awareness. Through symbolic imagery - a castle of the mind, battles with inner shadows, and the mirror of self‑recognition - the heroine transforms illusions into truth. The finale in a sunlit garden and ocean sail symbolizes purity, harmony, and eternal freedom. Created by Yuliya Levashova (Yuliya Lev), with original poetry and music, this project invites viewers to reflect on their own illusions and inner essence. 🏆 Awards & Nominations: Award Winner - One‑Reeler Short Film Competition (Best Short Film) Award Winner - The IndieFEST Film Awards (Script / Writer) Nominee - IndieX Film Fest (Best Web and New Media) Nominee - IndieX Film Fest (Best Music Video)
