Description

Global transmissions of variegated form exploring liminal spaces, dissociative states, and corrosive systems of power. In “You've Never Been Completely Honest” (Dir. Joey Izzo; 11 min.), an unheard tape is brought to life to tell the story of physical torture and brainwashing at a leadership and self-help seminar. “Abisal” (Dir. Alejandro Alonso; 30 min.) floats through an abandoned shipyard in Cuba, following men on board searching for signs of life. “Zigipouse” (Dir. Alan Sahin; 10 min.) observes the unlikely camaraderie found between colleagues on their smoke break. “Liberation Radio” (Dir. Esther Johnson; 14 min.) takes over the airwaves with broadcasts from American military deserters during the Vietnam War. In “Greetings from Myanmar” (Dirs. Sunniva Sundby & Andreas J. Riiser; 5 min), unsuspecting tourists enjoy a peaceful holiday while adjacent to genocide. (CT)
