Terra Mater - Motherland Breaking the Chains and Out of Competition
Kantarama Gahigiri, 2023, CH, RW, 10 min

Branches Out of Competition
Masumi Saito + Guy Wigmore , 2023, GB, 27 min
Branches asks how our lives could differ based on a single decision or encounter. Drawing on director Masumi's experience as a minority and immigrant to the UK, we examine how the environment and society shape us. Exploring neuroses and fears through the multiverse, viewers will ponder how choices in life topple like dominoes. We present opportunities for viewers to reflect on their lives in our post-COVID information-oriented society, which fragments our ideology.
