Take Off｜eslite Annivesary Film Festival
10 films
The word “Take Off” carries dozens of meanings—departure, revelation, flight, transformation. Depending on context, it shifts and expands, just like life itself, which rarely conforms to a single shape.
We’ve selected ten films, each capturing a different form of transformation.
Some tell stories of letting go—of setting off alone on a pilgrimage or retreating into the solitude of the forest. Others follow companions on creative journeys, documenting their explorations along the way.
Some films bring us back to the uncertainty of a world shaken by a virus—where vaccines and rapid tests posed impossible questions, and the path forward in a post-pandemic world came without instructions.
In these moments, a bit of fantasy in the everyday—or a drink-fueled moment of self-reflection—might just offer clarity.
And the journey of transformation doesn’t end with life itself.
What do we leave behind? What do we carry with us?
Eventually, we arrive at heaven’s door—and perhaps, rebirth.
