It’s a Small World
Combined programme
|
IFFR 2009
A landscape, viewed in detail, often reveals particularly strange elements. And depending on the perspective, each view appears as nothing more than the close-up of something more expansive. A journey along, over and into strange parts of our universe.
In this combined programme
-
Manifest Destiny
A road-movie-scifi-documentary about a journey through an imaginary cosmos. Or just a dream? -
Forest

On the Logic of Dubious Historical Accounts, 1969-1972
This film recreates the historical anecdote of Hasselblad cameras falling through space and hitting the surface of the moon. -
Horizontal Boundaries
This shape-shifting portrait of Los Angeles is a complex and disorientating tapestry of sliding horizon lines and shifting tectonics. -
The Scenic Route
