Dig deep into surrealist cinema with five stunning films

The strange reality of the lockdown confused us, made us reflect and rethink, and gave us some of the weirdest dreams we’ve ever had. It left us scrambling to put back together the pieces of life’s puzzle. Days and weeks blurred into one another, and our bygone days outdoors suddenly seemed like distant sepia-toned memories.

Pharmakon: The Art of Confrontation

Coughing. Breathing heavily. Rhythmically banging sheets of metal. Confronting mortality – confronting anything that might get in her way. New York artist Pharmakon. a.k.a. Margaret Chardiet has been snarling, wailing, baring her soul to global audiences for a decade now in a maelstrom of noise and power electronics.

Yang Yongliang's Ancient Chinese Futurama

There’s an unquestionable serenity and grace permeating Yang Yongliang‘s work that hardly betrays his 36 years of age. Echoing the imagery and unsurpassable craft of centuries-old paintings by great Chinese masters, his figures are languid and his landscapes bear a compelling sense of calm.
