“Soberly lyrical and infinitely gracious.” —Charles Tesson, Critics’ Week, Cannes Film Festival on Les Îles
Presented in collaboration with Hello Benjamin Films
VIRTUAL EVENT
Recent short films take you on an unexpected journey from India to Haiti and from Argentina to Thailand, as they strive for contemporary modes of expression to explore distance, desire and spirituality. Protagonists navigate harrowing and surreal scenarios built around the past, generating ecstasy in their pursuit of freedom or paradise. Through radical manipulations of analog and digital material, these films describe an oneiric world of longing, rooted in a desire to experiment with film language. Titles include: Les îles (Islands) by Yann Gonzalez (2017), Monster God by Agustina San Martín (2019), And What Is the Summer Saying by Payal Kapadia (2018), and Second Generation by Miryam Charles (2019).
In person, via Zoom: curator Rajee Samarasinghe; filmmakers Payal Kapadia, Agustina San Martín, Miryam Charles and Davor Sanvincenti

Curated by Rajee Samarasinghe as part of the Jack H. Skirball Series. Funded in part by the Ostrovsky Family Fund, with special support provided by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
