Panic in Nowhere

Drifting through videoclips online easily leaves you distracted, lost, and back on square one. Imagine, you found a series clips organized by a sense of inchoate feeling of eclipse of time and end of the world, evoking a shared sense of fate.

A Winter Mirage

United Kingdom, China /2025 / 0:29:55

In Chinese, ‘golden-age’ and ‘mirage’ share the same sound. Amid the 2024 economic decoupling, a single mother struggling to keep accessories business afloat in Yiwu, China’s largest export hub, must come to terms with memories of her late father's orchid on the Winter Solstice and reclaim her opera job to fund her son's overseas study. It enters into a dialogue with the early styles of Tsai Ming-liang and Chantal Akerman.

Time to Change

Pocas Pascoal
Portugal, Angola / 2024 / 0:05:00

Angolan director and screenwriter Pocas Pascoal reminds us that it’s time for a change, proposing through this film a look at colonialism, capitalism, and their impact on global biodiversity. We observe that the destruction of the ecosystem goes back a long way and is already underway through land exploitation, big game hunting, and the exploitation of man by man.
