Synopsis:
Individual schizophrenically narrated episodes take us through the instrumentalisation of life by creating pulp (mirroring the film itself) and personifying a machine. The film is rooted in the director’s infinite hatred of computers and, in a deeper sense, explores the boundaries of resistance in the digital age.

2024 All audiences 44 min
Visual Music is one of the most historically rich subgenres of abstract audiovisual art. From its beginnings, women have always been working in this field at the intersection of technology, sound, and film, yet most of them do not appear in history books. In this masterclass, we honoured some of these pioneers, all of whom were obsessed with seeing sound or hearing images.

The Universe Is Too Beautiful Not to Be Experienced by Someone
2021 16+ 19 min
by Patrik Bałon
What would we see if we could peek into the soul of the universe itself? What would its feelings be? Is there anything that would fascinate it and matter to it? Is ephemeral life something unique to an empty eternity, or is it a mere glimpse in the never-ending darkness? An abstract, meditative story about all that ever was and ever will be.
