Its disarming design and your own irresistible point of view as Nyago the cat (complete with whiskers and paws) soften Wada’s damning indictment of Japan’s psychiatric system, in which medication alone, without talk therapy, is considered the best treatment for lonely Naoki, a boy who hallucinates his beloved dead cat.
Poignant animated short, with elegantly fluid scene transitions. As an Iranian immigrant in Germany is preparing a meal with saffron, the precious spice recalls home. But then, inescapably, traumatic memories of a lethal sea crossing resurface. Immersive, in a confronting, but beautiful way. Special Jury Prize, Venice Immersive.
Absurdist dystopia in which Dutch explorer Abel Tasman has been resurrected to colonise lands again for the flooded Netherlands. You’re in a museum where pop culture, ‘Golden Age’ kitsch and AI art create a kaleidoscopic cacophony of images and sounds (with your gaze determining which story you hear) – interrupted by ads, of course.
Where do we go when we zone out? Animated puppets and objects accompany you through a fragmented train of thought, while your hand movements interact with the sometimes surrealistic scenes and connections evoked by far-off sounds. Thus, as the author beautifully puts it, your awareness slowly returns “from no-where to now-here”.
From the outset, when the title character explodes into bloody pieces, you’re immersed in her nightmare of fear, loneliness, depression and uncontrollable anger. It’s chaotic, punk and overwhelming, ranging from soulless sex to decapitated animals. While also perfectly capturing our insane zeitgeist. As she says: “We can be anything, so we are nothing.”
