Of Other Spaces

Through episodes that display a high degree of idiosyncrasy, we follow a stranger who creates an imaginary order which serves to stress his inexistence elsewhere. The film is a personal documentary that represents a constellation of past time and suspended time while attempting to explore the Foucauldian phrase 'a placeless place'.

From observations of daily life in Guangzhou, to chilling conciliation with the untold sacrificial stories beneath gentrification. Smell the flower's fragrance, taste the bruise and blood.

Silence

Dmitry Zakharov
Germany / 2020 / 0:04:53

Political conflicts and arguments are deadlocked and often represent personal interests, economic superiority, and a gain of power rather than the interests of the people and the environment. The problems of globalization demand the rejection of a misinterpreted concept of individualism. They demand a rethinking of our stuck concepts and ideologies that led us to this self-scourging, almost self-destructive mindset that has replaced the essence of our existence. What happens when we create a momentum which silences politics, economics, and the ego of each individual? A deliberate silence of each individual as well as a collective silence of all human beings as an expression for a unified system. How would we encounter ourselves in such a space and how would we encounter our environment? Would we be able to reform society with this deliberate silence? If you blot out sound and sense, what would you hear?
