PLEH

2017

An experimental journey through a year in the life of the director, using his always playing playlist to cross the boundaries of fiction and documentary.

Yet, emerging technology provides a glimmer of hope; transhumanism promises a future free from mortality, disease and pain. Does our salvation lie in digital simulacra? We're here to sell you the answer to that question, for the low, low price of four hundred and seventy seconds.

Misty Picture

2021
