FEEL THE HEAT

Pasi Autio
Finland, 2022
9 min.

A one-man disco in a forest at night – the lights are flashing, birds are singing, dancing continues and time disappears. After the atmosphere in the forest reaches its height, it starts declining freely and uncontrollably. The night cannot go on forever and, in the morning, the surrounding reality is revealed.

Have you ever wanted to sample the buzzing of a fly or the song of a bird then turn them into an abstract beat to dance to in a dark forest reminiscent of The Black Lodge from Twin Peaks? If the answer is yes, then Pasi Autio’s Feel the Heat is everything you’ve wished for and more. A free spirited, let it all go, be weird, dance like nobody’s watching neon extravaganza. A communion with nature or a get-your-freak-on meditation towards abstract entities? Dancing turns into a lamentation. The neon forest has been cut. (Emil Vasilache)

VISION OF PARADISE

Leonardo Pirondi | Duration 16 min.

Maps of the 15th century could sometimes render both the real and the imaginary. Visão do Paraíso follows the search for a mythical island in the “New World”, while exploring the capacity of human imagination and computer simulations to construct environments and to expand the frontiers of the physical world into a new kind of “New World”.

THE VEILED CITY

Natalie Cubides-Brady | Duration 13 min.

The Veiled City is a sci-fi city symphony inspired by London’s Great Smog of 1952. Created from archive footage, the film unfolds through fictional letters from a post-apocalyptic future. We are invited to understand the smog in the context of the present-day climate emergency and our global destiny.

THE SECRET GARDEN

Nour Ouayda | Duration 27 min.

The inhabitants of a city awake one morning to find that never-before-seen trees, plants, and flowers suddenly erupted throughout the streets and in the squares. Strange and mysterious events start taking place as Camelia and Nahla investigate the origins of these new and peculiar creatures.

CENTER, RING, MALL

Mateo Vega | Duration 17 min.

A multi-vocal triptych through peripheral sites of urban infrastructure: a data center, a ring road, and a run-down mall. All three sites were built with certain worldviews - visions of the future and US-influenced promises of progress that didn't turn out to be the utopias they presented themselves as.

BLISS.JPG

Emily Rose Apter, Elijah Stevens | Duration 9 min.

A travelogue through the familiar and unfamiliar terrain of digital landscapes. Pairing 16mm footage of computer desktop backgrounds with soundscapes of sites of technological extraction – precious metal mining, smelting foundries, microprocessing plants, and data farms – Bliss.jpg excavates and examines the geological and geographical sites that produce our virtual worlds.
