迷途 (Allegory of the Cave)
The world and I are lost in the maze.
… >>>- Duration: 8 Min.
- Director: Weipeng Huang, Yajing wang
How does it feel to hit bone with a knife? Surely softer than cutting through hard stone. A man in Kassel tried it out... This program digs deep into the earth, into the underground. We venture into caves and hells, into claustrophobic moments and human abysses. And suddenly, life in the depths is not lifeless, but ancient, wise, dazzling, and observant. People appear as adventurers, lonely scientists, lost in fixed ideas and fantasies. An interplay of dependence and fascination. Bon Appetit! (Linn Löffler, Boris Hadžija, Matti Ullrich)
The world and I are lost in the maze.
… >>>Bodies coated in clay squeeze through narrow rock passages, merging with the dimly lit cave walls, faintly illuminated by headlamps. The film observes a group of cavers and their varying motivations for embarking on an uncomfortable journey into the depths. In the furthest corners of the cave, which was discovered in 2019, lies a chamber filled with bizarre aragonite crystals. The most extraordinary of them is named “Hydra” by its discoverers.
… >>>What if everything in the world were equal, with no distinction between the value of the living and the inanimate? Matter observes, feels, perceives, judges, and suffers us. It is our silent witness, sometimes more influential than we realize. A short film about the life of the stones among us, shot on 35mm.
… >>>CN: Violence The boundaries between individual human freedom and the necessity of others, as illustrated by the case of a cannibal in Kassel. All elements appear arbitrary, as if they could be rearranged at any time to create a new film, but the question would remain: What is the significance of others for the individual, and what should the individual be to others?
… >>>A music video about people, each experiencing their own reality, and pigeons.
