Showings

An intersex African hacker, a coltan miner and the virtual marvel born as a result of their union.

It sometimes gets bogged down in turgid polemic, but what’s surprising is how supple and communitarian it stays.

Not since ‘Zabriskie Point’ has psychedelia and Marxism worked together so effectively on screen.

It does not court our understanding, it does not make following easy, but it does whisper to us and spark connections. In that way, it is like a dream: fitful, feverish, promising.
