Synopsis

*Homo sapiens*, the first film in Vlatko Gilić’s Sisyphean trilogy, follows a suited man as he makes repeated trips across a sandy desert to fill an oversized barrel using a small tub of water. The film is shot in stark black and white and edited to create a dreamlike quality. The man's dedication to his task is challenged by a young couple who playfully interact with the barrel.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 4

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
