THE BIBLE
A captivating, dynamic mix of animation, news footage and music, ranging from real-world images of terrible violence to nearly abstract scenes of hallucinogenic beauty.

Things is Ben Rivers’ fourteenth film at IFFR since his 2007 debut. Full of eclipses, encounters, illusions and magic, the film is founded in uncertainty concerning home. It’s a fitting departure, but similarly to previous films, gives freedom to meander, reflect and make our own discoveries. A four seasons’ fable, a kaleidoscope of intimate and non-intimate details comes to the fore in Things, perplexing us, intriguing us and urging us to watch again.
