Dull Spots of Greenish Colours

Sasha Svirsky
Germany
10’ 32"

War for our attention has suddenly become an actual war. Information technologies appear not just as mere means for somebody’s ends but as one of the acting forces. We have no control over it and are doomed to scroll through the newsfeed.

Watching Sasha Svirsky’s Dull Spots of Greenish Colors, you might wonder what kind of oversaturated, isotopic nightmare you have ended up in. In reality, its amalgamation of visual data juxtaposed in collage form or in sudden passing is more familiar than you might think. It’s the core of your infinite feed, a never-ending parasite that thrives on the scroll. The film doesn’t mask it, but brings out its features, turning at times into the bastard child of creepy pastas and 24-bit pixelated viruses. Kind of like John Carpenter’s They Live, but about your favorite app for rotting. This is a warning you don’t want to miss. (Emil Vasilache)

detours while speaking of monsters

Deniz Şimşek | Duration 18'

A 4000-year-old aquatic monster now lives through the tales of the few. Its myth dates back to the ancestors of Armenians and Kurds around Lake Van, a region that witnessed the ethnic cleansing of both peoples. On the crossroads of mythological, political and personal realms, different forms of erasure are concealed. Old gods are upset with us, and I am upset with my father.
