A TRIP TO HEAVEN, dir. Linh Duong

Visions of cosmic presents and imagined futures.

 

From otherworlds and afterlifes conjured by artist filmmakers Jacqueline Lentzou (Hector Malot: The Last Day Of The Year) and Berlinale Talent Linh Duong, by way of experimental physics, Flat Earth theory and Hitchcock churned through algorithm, these science-infused films give us personal perspectives on getting by in the universe. Programmed by Philip Ilson. 72'

​

Please note, the film The End of Suffering (A Proposal) can only be accessed by UK audiences at the request of the filmmaker.
