No One Wants It

Ronen Eldar & Oliver Zimmermann • DE 2022 • 11min • DCP • enOF+enUT • Österreichpremiere

NO ONE WANTS IT, tells the story of two artist-activists, who use Noise as a form of protest against the dismantling of human liberties in Hong Kong. The film employs a non-conventional documentary style to bring an abstract and fluid style, reminiscent of the New Wave, which is a big influence in their work.

NEVER GATE

Elena Montesinos & JD Schneider • CH 2022 • 23min • DCP • enOF+enUT • Internationale Premiere

It looks like the end of the world in the middle of a vast dump that stretches as far as the eye can see. A mad preacher (Silverio) bedecked in a black disco suit fulminates and screams at some kind of human parasites. An eccentric bunch of freaks prepares a telepathic meeting. The Queen of the beehive (Lydia Lunch) bellows out her anger at the world while “earworms” fallen from space broadcast subversive messages (created by Otto Von Schirach).

Never Gate is a strange and inspired “crazy trip”, shot mainly in “broken English” (and a few european languages) and infused with spirals of lysergic fantasy. It tells the story of the extraordinary and energetic fauna that inhabits a residence which is bizarrely reminiscent of a psychiatric hospital and begs the question “is this some kind of madhouse?”
