"Candyland" – A Short Film by David Gil Premiering at NewFest

Candyland

Short Film

Writer Director

2024-2025

Deleted Films is the evolving framework for my transdisciplinary, collaborative practice, where storytelling becomes a tool for critical inquiry and cultural disruption.

My work exists at the intersection of film, visual art, and creative direction, investigating how technology, media, and power structures shape perception and reality, and in turn, influence behavior, dictating collective identity.

Through my practice, I hope to challenge dominant narratives, integrate the ill body into society, and carve a space for unheard voices.
