Divided like chapters, this year’s experimental program shifts through mutable changes, themes emerge and vanish, and cinema changes before your eyes, from fragmented echoes of time through the geographical space, vehicular momentum to the speed of the imagination caught on film and finally the fragmented poetics of our own existences.
