INTERNATIONAL PREMIERE


Kent Tate

Canada
2017 / 0:07:00

No Rest for the Restless” is a story drawn from my impressions of our hallucinatory world. A subconscious response to the recognition that we are in the midst of the "Anthropocene period" and the "Holocene extinction." An tumultuous age in which this planet is being transformed into something we may, or may not yet imagine.
