Pandemic shorts by Panahi, Poitras, Apichatpong, Weiwei, and others.
There was a global in the pandemic experience, and in our inability to travel across it except via screens. In the hands of some good filmmakers, these optical and sonic spaces are resonant with possibilities, losses and memories that we wanted to revisit: of long term immobility (Panahi), of remote online investigations (Poitras), of insects in the night after humans sleep, or leave (Apichatpong) and more. We thought we could rearrange the original 2021 compendium film, for our context and our evening.
So we present a 100 minute edit here that includes 5 of the nicest pandemic shorts we have seen, plus a 20-minute section from a film that was not in the original - the Ai Weiwei directed Coronation, which we consider to be, somewhat accidentally, his best film.
Hope to see you there!
