Film synopses:
1. “We Made our own Disaster” (60 minutes)
A Study of Fascism in Late 20th Century Democracies, NESTA funded AV piece by Robin Mahoney & Si Begg.
2. “Awareness” (10 minutes)
“Awareness” is an externalized nightmare, in which the protagonist has to endure his worst fears and reach into the deepest corners of the self. At the end, he comes back to the surface – a state of “Awareness”, and starts a new beginning. Directed by Fobia, a Berlin-based Brazilian artist, a psychological project was created to investigate the sources of fear, and the human reactions to it.
The project proposes situations in which an individual is exposed to uncomfortable, dark, fearful sensations and throughout this painful journey encounters the primary meanings of their own existence. “Awareness” turns darkness into positive tools and hopes to highlight the need of attention and consciousness in this world.
3. “The Awakening” (10 minutes)
We live in a repressed society where men hide behind ties and suits, where sustained repression and expectation force people to live their true selves in secret. This is emphasised by the lead character who feels truly free only in his dreams, whose “twisted” hidden desires manifest themselves only in the night behind closed shutters. And that’s when the clock really starts rolling. Directed by Gabi Dworecki 2009.
