SUPER NATURAL

Jorge Jácome | Duration 85 min.

Voids. Abstract visuals. Tender portraits of all kinds of bodies before the camera. Landscapes of a sensuous Madeira. Super Natural inspires and reaches for connection, looking inwards as much as outwards for a collective sense of belonging to the world.

EL GRAN MOVIMIENTO

The sea is Ida’s home - only one woman among five other men on a ship. Searching for fleeting and secretive traces of the Foreign Legion, time passes slowly, dilating into an existential drift.

PIAFFE

NEPTUNE FROST

Anisia Uzeyman, Saul Williams | Duration 109 min.

As a coltan miner and a hacker find each other in a dystopic future, their mutual feelings of dissonance and dissent become song. The natural world and the virtual one collide in hypnotic visuals, giving birth to an Afro-futuristic musical of politically charged splendour.

Shot on 16mm film and using archival inserts, Herbaria uses a unique parallel between two branches of modern conservation as its starting point: film and flora, contemplating on the common, ephemeral nature of the two ecosystems.
