Submitted to RTV International Film Festival 2026Synopsis
As the world's other colors disappear, yellow keeps expanding, becoming both a warning and an atmosphere from which there is no escape. People move through this unified visual order, adapt to it, and gradually lose the ability to recognize difference. Built around a single color rule, this technological fable asks how environments and algorithms shape perception, and whether an individual can preserve a sense of self within a single dominant narrative.
Director(s)
Xiang Duan directs Yellow Era, an experimental AI-animated short submitted by Chongerdong Studio. The film uses a single expanding color to explore perception, conformity and the pressure of a dominant narrative.
