About the film

A young girl with long curly hair looking into an ornate mirror, touching the mirror's frame, with a contemplative expression.


Synopsis: The Afterlife of Aphrodite follows a young woman’s journey of self-discovery as she unearths the forgotten origins of her womanhood. Through symbolic and mythic reflection, the film reclaims the raw, creative, and chaotic essence of the goddess Aphrodite, long buried beneath centuries of beauty standards and silence. Blending personal memory with ancient mythology, the film becomes a reclamation of the feminine as flux, power, and transformation.

*The film had it’s premiere in Busan, Korea. During the Busan AI Film Festival 2025.
