Paranoia

Paranoia tells the story of Fay, a young woman confronted with the embodiment of her fear: the Incubus – a nocturnal demon that appears in dreams and haunts its victim. Between light and darkness, control and loss of control, a psychological chamber play unfolds, centered on inner turmoil. The film is based on the director’s personal experience with an anxiety disorder and explores the question of how one can learn to live with fear without being entirely consumed by it. Paranoia approaches this theme with a poetically dark visual language, expressive lighting, a modular synthesizer soundtrack, and the intimacy of a deeply personal gaze. The film does not present fear as something to be conquered, but as a complex emotional state – intense, overwhelming, sometimes paralyzing, yet also a point of departure for self-reflection and transformation.
