Black Feeling

Directed by Janie Ogeah

Some feelings aren’t yours, but they can still destroy you.

Black Feeling is an atmospheric short film that ties psychological thriller with supernatural realism to examine identity, emotional contagion, and queer intimacy at its most volatile. The story follows Kamsi, a young woman who isn’t like other people. She feels everything, literally. Her rare condition forces her to absorb the emotions of everyone around her. But when she falls for Audrey, a magnetic woman harbouring her own mysterious illness, Kamsi’s world fractures in ways she can no longer control. What begins as a sensual, emotionally intense relationship quickly turns unsettling. Kamsi is haunted by visions, disoriented by feelings that aren’t hers, and drawn deeper into a reality that no longer has clear edges. Audrey’s presence is both intoxicating and corrupting, an emotional virus infecting Kamsi’s already fragile grip on selfhood.
