No Rest for the Restless |
|
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.

An Instant in the universe: a few seconds above in space, a few
minutes here below for a man, and how much for the plant staring at
him… Little by little, these three journeys overlap, fuse with one
another and plunge into the heart of matter.

The roving Gritt fights the exhausting battle of establishing her
ideas into practice as an autodidact movement artist arriving the
capital of the self acclaimed winners of the world lottery. We follow
her during her first week in Oslo, and through her philosophical but
rather dissociative voice, we find a person with a huge gap between
her inner and outer world.

Symbiotic is a short film about a series of brief meetings filled with
voluntary and involuntary racism and bigotry, that unfold in the
chorus of a day on a simple park bench. How much racism could fit on a
park bench? At the end of the day, is the person sitting next to us
really who we think he is?
