Viewing Notes

This short film plays like a live action art installation. It’s rather amazing and mesmerizing. Very cool of MUBI to be featuring these films from International Short Film Festival Oberhausen.

Also fun credits done like a text message exchange. Very much the punctuation on this dystopian take on tech and device usage.
