Cybeau is a satirical short film about the pursuit for the ideal mechanical beauty in the near future. Androids compete in “The world’s most marvelous android” a transhumanist beauty pageant, where the boundaries of the organic body are transgressed into insentient realms.
The clash between Organic/Mechanic becomes apparent when a storm pours over the show and the sleek silver skin of the competitors gets washed off, revealing a lost human underneath. The spectacle is shown through brief stroboscopic views of the contestants, highlighting distinct facial features.

directors' statement
The making of Cybeau was a collective effort, conceived by the three of us together. We felt the need to explore a universe where engineered perfection replaces the organic, yet in doing so exposes its own fragility. Our aim was to create a stage where idealized aesthetics could collide with their own emptiness.
By tracing the ever-uncertain boundary between the human and the artificial, we sought to reveal how a profound sense of emptiness and alienation can lie beneath the glittering surface of perfection.
